Joseph,
Spectral efficiency is a measure of useful throughput and therefore
accounts for any retransmissions due to frame errors (at least when
operating in an acknowledged mode). If spectral efficiency is the primary
requirement here, then perhaps we do not need a separate frame error rate
requirement.
