Question 1

What is the major advantage of using 16-QAM over QPSK?

  • It uses a different frequency
  • It encodes more bits per symbol
  • It has fewer symbols to transmit

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how much information can be sent in one go.

Question 2

True or False: Adaptive Modulation and Coding (AMC) can help in maximizing throughput in fluctuating network conditions.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how networks respond to changing environments.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A network operator needs to improve data rates for video streaming during a major sports event without increasing spectrum. How can 16-QAM facilitate this?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about the role of bits per symbol and network efficiency.

Question 2

Consider a scenario where the signal quality is poor. Why might 16-QAM lead to more transmission issues compared to QPSK?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Focus on how signal quality impacts different modulation types.
