- lxgr 3y agoPlease take all of this with a grain of salt! It's quite possible that the limiting factor here is already spectral efficiency and not power; I don't know the link budgets involved and am mainly basing this on the very low observed data rates of systems I'm familiar with. I don't have the exact S/N numbers for these systems, and there might well be some potential gain that's not being exploited for reasons of spectral efficiency (after all, these systems want to serve multiple phones at least somewhat efficiently). The spectrum is limited in any case, both by receiver capabilities and the fact that it's a very scarce resource in useful frequency ranges.
