Usually the bandwidth is shared between several terminals. The performance of each technology is determined by a number of constraints, including the <a href="/facts/Spectral_efficiency/GaePAvv9">spectral efficiency</a> of the technology, the cell sizes used, and the amount of spectrum available. </p><p>For more comparison tables, see <a href="/facts/Bit_rate/ppUNMmVd">bit rate progress trends</a>, <a href="/facts/Comparison_of_mobile_phone_standards/CtItD6T7">comparison of mobile phone standards</a>, <a href="/facts/Spectral_efficiency_comparison_table/GaePAvv9">spectral efficiency comparison table</a> and <a href="/facts/OFDM_system_comparison_table/YhPkx5ql">OFDM system comparison table</a>. </p> <h2 id="peak-bit-rate-and-throughput">Peak bit rate and throughput</h2> <p>When discussing throughput, there is often a distinction between the peak data rate of the physical layer, the theoretical maximum data throughput and typical throughput. </p><p>The peak bit rate of the standard is the <a href="/facts/Net_bit_rate/ppUNMmVd">net bit rate</a> provided by the physical layer in the fastest transmission mode (using the fastest modulation scheme and error code), excluding forward error correction coding and other physical layer overhead. </p><p>The theoretical <a href="/facts/Maximum_throughput/6zAUsXqw">maximum throughput</a> for end user is clearly lower than the peak data rate due to higher layer overheads. Even this is never possible to achieve unless the test is done under perfect laboratory conditions. </p><p>The typical throughput is what users have experienced most of the time when well within the usable range to the base station. The typical throughput is hard to measure, and depends on many protocol issues such as transmission schemes (slower schemes are used at longer distance from the access point due to better redundancy), packet retransmissions and packet size. The typical <a href="/facts/Throughput/6zAUsXqw">throughput</a> is often even lower because of other traffic sharing the same network or cell, interference or even the fixed line capacity from the base station onwards being limited. </p><p>Note that these figures cannot be used to predict the performance of any given standard in any given environment, but rather as benchmarks against which actual experience might be compared. </p> Bit rate (Mbit/s)<table><tbody><tr><th>Standard</th><th>Peak Downlink</th><th>Peak Uplink</th><th>Approximate Maximum Range in Meters</th><th>Typical Downlink throughput</th></tr><tr><td><a href="/facts/CDMA2000/yF4B3rfl">CDMA2000 1xRTT</a></td><td>0.3072</td><td>0.1536</td><td>29000</td><td>0.125</td></tr><tr><td><a href="/facts/Evolution-Data_Optimized/doRtY7kt">CDMA2000 EV-DO Rev. 0</a></td><td>2.4580</td><td>0.1536</td><td>29000</td><td>1</td></tr><tr><td><a href="/facts/Evolution-Data_Optimized/doRtY7kt">CDMA2000 EV-DO Rev.
