ABSTRACT

High spectrum efficiency is one of the goals for 3GPP Long-term Evolution (LTE) cellular networks. This paper provides evaluation of the downlink (DL) transmission in LTE. The evaluation is performed for a regular hexagonal multi-cell deployment, universal frequency reuse scheme2x2 Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) antenna configuration and varying packet scheduling algorithm. This study evaluates the advantages and benefits of combining several spectrum efficiency improvement techniques over multipath selective fading channel conditions and various bandwidth sizes (BW). The proposed paper compares MIMO improvements to Single Input Single Output (SISO) scenario in terms of cell and user throughputs. The evaluation is performed through a custom simulation package developed for this purpose. .
