A communication system configured to enhance communication spectral efficiency while maintaining an acceptable level of system robustness. Various combinations of modulation, code rate, and antenna usage scheme, are combined to create a hierarchy of modulation and communication schemes (MCS), such that each higher MCS level represents an enhanced degree of spectral efficiency, traded off for a lowered degree of system robustness. Included also are embodiments of methods testing the quality of data transmission and reception at difference MCS levels, and then raising or lowering MCS levels in order to enhance communication spectral efficiency while not falling below the minimally acceptable level of system robustness. |
