Table 1

Relation between MCS, SINR, and throughput in Wi-Fi 4 with mandatory 800 ns guard interval (GI) [31].

MCS index	Modulation scheme	Coding rate	Throughput for 20 MHz (Mbit/s)	Throughput for 40 MHz (Mbit/s)	SINR range (dB) [32]
0	BPSK	1/2	6.5	13.5	[6.8, 7.9)
1	QPSK	1/2	13.0	27.0	[7.9, 10.6)
2	QPSK	3/4	19.5	40.5	[10.6, 13.0)
3	16-QAM	1/2	26.0	54.0	[13.0, 17.0)
4	16-QAM	3/4	39.0	81.0	[17.0, 21.8)
5	64-QAM	2/3	52.0	108.0	[21.8, 24.7)
6	64-QAM	3/4	58.5	121.5	[24.7, 28.1)
7	64-QAM	5/6	65.0	135.0	28.1
