bit-count integrity (BCI)

bit-count integrity (BCI): 1. In message communications, the preservation of the exact number of bits that are in the original message. 2. In connection-oriented services, preservation of the number of bits per unit time. (188) Note: Bit-count integrity is not the same as bit integrity, which requires that the delivered bits correspond exactly with the original bits.
