When you get higher throughput: while going at 5mph and while going at 50 mph? And Why?
2 Answers↳
high mobility communication is more difficult.
↳
You will get higher a throughput while going at 5mph. Higher speeds indicates that the RF channel conditions such as delay and Doppler spread are changing at fast rate and its a fast fading channel. It is difficult to achieve equalization in such situation. Hence the modulation scheme can be shot down to, say QPSK(2 bits/symbol) from maybe 16QAM(4 bits/symbol) to provide a more robust transmission. This brings down the user throughput. Less
