CQI (Channel Quality Indication) – Instead of expressing the CQI as a received signal quality, the CQI expressed as a data rate that terminal (UE) can support under the actual radio conditions. SINR is used for calculating CQI. In LTE, CQI has only 15 codes. MCS parameter is assigned based on the CQI value .

MCS stands for Modulation and Coding Scheme and TBS stands for Transport Block Size. Introduction: 5G NR (New radio) is latest cellular wireless technology which follows 3GPP specifications similar to LTE. The entire protocol stack for UE and gNB (i.e. Base Station) is specified in 38 series of documents.
