Min.-HT-MCS

MCS (Modulation Coding Scheme) automatically adapts transmission speeds. In the 802.11n standard it defines a number of variables that specify the number of spatial streams, the modulation and the data rate of each data stream, among others.

In the factory settings the station automatically selects the best possible MCS for each stream, based on the conditions of each channel. If interference arises during operation and the channel conditions change, for example due to movement of the transmitter or signal deterioration, the MCS is dynamically adjusted to suit the new conditions.

You also have the option of setting the MCS to a constant value. This may facilitate testing, or it may be useful in particularly dynamic environments to avoid unnecessary parameterizing where an optimal value simply cannot be expected.
