OFDM, MIMO, 3GPP, LTE, 4GAbstract
Long-Term Evolution (LTE) represents an emerging and promising technology for providing broadband, ubiquitous Internet access. To evaluate the performance of new mobile network technologies, system-level simulations are crucial. As a result, several research groups are working on optimizing its performance. In this paper, we introduce a MATLAB-based LTE downlink physical-layer simulator, designed according to 3GPP specifications (Release 10) and other related proposals. The simulation is conducted for a single downlink from one E-UTRAN (eNodeB) to one User Equipment (UE). A Bit Error Rate (BER) analysis is performed for this system under different system settings.
