Mobile communications technologies are aiming at responding to the growing demand for
higher connectivity. Performance of recent 3G and 4G systems, UMTS/HSPA+ and LTE, is …

The main purpose of this thesis was to study LTE technologies in terms of capacity and
coverage. For this purpose, a single user model was developed, where the maximum cell …

Overhead resource elements (REs) in Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks are used for
some control, signaling and synchronization tasks at both the Physical level and Media …

Standardization of 3GPP LTE-Advanced (LTE-A), also called as 4G, is continuing strongly.
Yet, in parallel the discussion on performance targets for systems beyond 4G have been …

A relatively recent idea of extending the benefits of MIMO systems to multiuser scenarios
seems promising in the context of achieving high data rates envisioned for future cellular …

To address dramatic increase of the demand for mobile broadband services and to support
wider transmissions bandwidths, 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) standard has introduced …

Recently, the mobile communication industry is moving rapidly towards long-term evolution
(LTE) systems. LTE aims to provide improved service quality over 3G systems in terms of …

Abstract 3GPP LTE (Long Term Evolution) is the evolution of the UMTS which will make
possible to deliver next generation high quality multimedia services according to the users' …

This article presents simulation results for a realistic implementation of the downlink MIMO
LTE Release 8 standard in fading environments. A 4x2 MIMO Channel configuration has …

ABSTRACT LTE-Advanced is the candidate from (3GPP) to meet (IMT)-Advanced
requirements. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the performance of Adaptive MIMO …
