QUANTIZING NOISE/QUANTIZING DISTORTION - Transmission anomalies of a dynamic nature involved during the analog/digital conversion process of codecs in digital transmission systems; the dynamic nature is that these extraneous artifacts appear only when an input signal is present; they cannot be measured or observed on an idle, quiet channel.

QUEUE - A delay in providing service caused by the inability of the system provided to handle the quantity of transactions attempted; many computer and communications systems operate with deliberate queues as part of their basic economics.
