maxMCS

Class: wlanRateControl

Return highest MCS index selectable for specified receiver

Since R2026a

Syntax

mcsValue = maxMCS(rateControl,receiverNodeID,transmissionFormat,nSTSchannelBW)

Description

mcsValue = maxMCS(rateControl,receiverNodeID,transmissionFormat,nSTSchannelBW) returns the highest selectable modulation and coding scheme (MCS) index for the specified receiver.

Input Arguments
