Sensitivity
One of the most important criteria for comparing PHY layers is the BER and PER performance of the system
Sensitivity of a receiver directly affects the required transmit power
Better sensitivity means less transmit power
Better sensitivity means less interference and allows good use of the available unlicensed band
Current Pugh matrix criteria do not measure sensitivity
