# IVC 5G O-RAN Summary ###### tags: `UNILA` ## 22nd of July 2021 - Physical Channel Constraints on what kinds of signal can be transmitted Data rate limits => maximum data rate 1. Signal Power 2. Noise Power 3. Distortion Without distortion or noise, R will have ꝏ value and the power of error (Pe) approach to 0. Gaussian Noise Formula : C= 1/2 B Log ( 1+SNR ) Signal => Continous, Discrete, Complex, Real Signal’s Characteristic 1. Power 2. Bandwith ![](https://imgur.com/A5yGtAP.png) Whats’s noise ? Any unwanted component of signal a. Internal/ Thermal Noise => Additive (White Gaussian) b. Distortions c. External Interface ![](https://imgur.com/e4E37Rk.png)
