What is meant by the MCS rate?

The Modulation Coding Scheme (MCS) index is an existing industry metric based on several parameters of a Wi-Fi connection between a client device and a wireless access point, including data rate, channel width, and the number of antennas or spatial streams in the device.

What is MCS 5G?

For any communication technology, Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) defines the numbers of useful bits which can carried by one symbol . In contrast with 5G or 4G, a symbol is defined as Resource Element (RE) and MCS defined as how many useful bits can be transmitted per Resource Element (RE) .

What is MCS table?

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.

What is frequency raster?

The global frequency channel raster defines a set of RF reference frequencies . The RF reference frequency is used in signalling to identify the position of RF channels, SS blocks and other elements. The global frequency raster is defined for all frequencies from 0 to 100 GHz.

What are FR1 and FR2 bands?

FR1 defines bands in the sub-6 GHz spectrum (although 7125 MHz is the maximum) and FR2 defines bands in the mmWave spectrum . Because of the higher carrier frequencies in FR2, it has a higher maximum bandwidth. Bandwidths include 5-100 MHz (FR1) and 50/100/200/400 MHz (FR2).
