In a nutshell, an MCS table is a lookup that can be used to find which data rate will be negotiated between two stations once all the connection parameters are known . For each possible combination of modulation, coding rate, number of spatial streams, channel width, and guard interval, there is a unique MCS index.16 Eyl 2020

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 .
