Revolution Wi-Fi MCS To SNR

The document shows the modulation coding schemes (MCS) that can be achieved for various wireless standards (802.11b, 802.11ag, 802.11n, 802.11ac) at different channel widths (20MHz, 40MHz, 80MHz, 160MHz) and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) levels from 1 to 50. Higher MCS numbers indicate faster data rates. The table demonstrates that higher MCS and therefore faster data rates can be achieved at higher SNR levels and wider channel widths.
