The MCS0 data rate depends on the specific wireless standard (e.g., 802.11n, 802.11ac, 802.11ax) and the channel width used. Here's a breakdown for 802.11n:
In 802.11n, MCS0 signifies the lowest modulation and coding scheme. It typically uses a single spatial stream and lower-order modulation. The resulting data rate changes based on channel width.
| MCS Index | Spatial Streams | Data Rate (Mbit/s) - 20 MHz Channel | Data Rate (Mbit/s) - 40 MHz Channel |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 1 | 6.5 | 13.5 |
Therefore:
- With a 20 MHz channel, MCS0 yields a data rate of 6.5 Mbit/s.
- With a 40 MHz channel, MCS0 yields a data rate of 13.5 Mbit/s.
It's important to remember that these are theoretical maximum data rates. Actual throughput can be affected by factors like overhead, distance, interference, and the capabilities of the wireless devices.
