How many bits can be carried by an RE?

Question

There are possibility that paging can be missed at UE side, did they have any provision to handle this at RAN side? can they re transmit it ?

Answer 1

It depends upon the modulation used.

2 bits if QPSK is used
4 bits if 16QAM is used
6 bits if 64 QAM is used
8 bits if 256 QAM is used

Comments

Also, BPSK modulation carries 1 bit per symbol.
