In the Case of Free Space Propagation

Suppose the path loss is depicted by free space propagation model, then


L0 = $\displaystyle 32.4 + 20 \log \left ( d \right ) + 20 \log \left ( f_c \right )$  
  = $\displaystyle 32.4 + 20 \log \left ( 10^4 \right ) + 20 \log \left ( 0.9 \right )$  
  = 111.5   dB (13)
W = Pt + Gt + Gr - L0 - S / N -F +204  
  = 0 + 0 + 0 - 111.5 - 10 - 2 + 204  
  = 80.5   dB (14)

As we assume that the maximum data rate equals to the channel bandwidth, the maximum data rate can be acheived is R = W = 108.05   bps.
