摘要：LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) is the project name of the evolved version of LTE that is being developed by 3GPP. LTE-A will meet or exceed the requirements of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) for the Fourth Generation (4G) radio communication standard known as IMT-Advanced. LTE-A is being specified initially as part of Release 10 of the 3GPP specifications. In this paper, we present an in-depth analysis of the LTE-A downlink physical layer characteristics and its performance. Our work is unique in providing a detailed performance study based on Release 10 of the 3GPP standard. As performance metrics, Bit Error Rate (BER) and date throughput are evaluated in terms of Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) for two different Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) schemes as defined in LTE standard under different combination of digital modulation schemes. This study consider a first step to perform hardware implementation of LTE-A system using Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) technology that become a very important task for mobile communication and wireless network researchers.
