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 .
Read moreWhat is MCS in 5G NR?
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.

MCS (Modulation and Coding Scheme) defines how many useful bits can be transmitted per Resource Element (RE) . MCS depends on radio link quality. The better quality the higher MCS and the more useful data can be transmitted.
Read moreWhat 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.
Read moreWhat 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) .
Read moreWhat 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.
