• Mb: megabits per second; MB: megabytes per second
• Channel width: how much radio frequency is used by a channel; the wider the
channel, the faster data can be transferred, i.e. a 40 MHz channel transfers 2x
that of a 20 MHz channel and an 80 MHz channel 4x a 20 MHz channel.
• PHY rate: speed of raw channel without the overhead of media access
protocol, i.e. Gigabit Ethernet is 1000 Mb
• Data rate: speed user data is transferred, i.e. Gigabit Ethernet is ~ 650 Mb.
There is about 35% overhead for protocol, error correction, etc. (1000 Mb PHY
rate
350 Mb overhead = 650 Mb data rate).
