Inside Wireless: MCS rates
Ғылым және технология
Wireless radios use MCS rates to express a few pieces of information: the QAM modulation depth, number of spatial channels, coding rate. What do these mean? Check out our Inside Wireless episode for details!

All these components combined with a few others (channel width, guarding interval length, etc.) determine the maximum throughput a wireless link can achieve. But, the real throughput you are likely to see in a radio online interface is most likely just approaching this maximum limit.
Multipath propagation, changing weather conditions, interference, physical obstructions, and antenna alignment mismatch are other factors influencing the actual throughput. In the end, you have to understand that the throughput you see depends on many factors and it should be taken as such.

What would you say is the limit the QAM can go to? 2048 QAM, 4096 QAM, or even 8192 QAM?

I just set it to 52M to avoid confusion and failures
very easy to understand and very useful, thank you.
Thanks for the video. Very informative!
Thanks quik and well explained . in one word : efficient !
GRAN TRABAJO 💯💯
thank you
Hey man, great explanation videos. Keep it up 👍 I was wondering if we can have a multiplexing techniques explanation especially ofdm and ofdma.

Thank you! We have bunch of topics in the pipeline but we'll run out eventually - thanks for the input, we will look into it for future episodes.
Great work. Thank you very much for all these episodes. Please I need to know some issues about practical word about IEEE 802.11 n WiFi 54 Mbps: What is the maximum estimated noise floor at user devices that could be achieved, for a line of sight connection? it's -98 dBm to the best of my knowledge !! The same question about Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) in dB? I mean for all these questions the thresholds values? All the best.

Thank you! The noise floor is definitely somewhere on that order, but might differ somewhat across different devices. For Commercial applications the -98 dBm is a good reference. The EVM depends also on particular device, but generally 64QAM @ 20 MHz channel requires 25 dB SNR.

is the video good, yes. did i learn a thing, yes do i now understand MCS rates, absolutely not

@@rchromatic you don't calculate MCS rates, RF radios typically automatically operate at the highest possible one. For the dependencies explanation, check our other IW videos, for example kzread.info/dash/bejne/noR4sKlqnc3LoZs.html, kzread.info/dash/bejne/e5aJyM6ala3JhZs.html, or kzread.info/dash/bejne/Y4iNuZmNZruYj84.html MCS rate is equivalent to the throughput speed of a wireless link one can achieve..

@@Rfelements So the answer is that MCS is a look up index in predefined table of pairs Modulation + Coding Rate. For example when we say MCS == 5 it means that Modulation == 64-QAM and Coding rate is 2/3. Then knowing the number of spatial streams and channel we can "predict" the data rate (is it MCS rate or throughput or channel speed?).

@@rchromatic yes, you got it right. It is the maximum possible throughput speed you get from that. The reality is most often below this value, naturally.
