Analysis of LTE Physical Hybrid ARQ Control Channel

Performance Analysis of the 3GPP-LTE Physical Control Channels

Maximum likelihood-based (ML) receiver structures are derived for the decoding of the downlink control channels in the new long-term evolution (LTE) standard based on multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) antennas and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). The performance of the proposed receiver structures for the physical control format indicator channel (PCFICH) and the physi...

Performance and Modeling of Lte H-arq

The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP)’s Release’8 Long Term Evolution (LTE) defines the next step of 3G technology. LTE offers significant improvements over previous technologies such as UMTS/HSPA. Higher downlink and uplink speeds, lower latency and simpler network architecture are among the new features that are provided. One of the central features that provides transmission robustne...

Evolution of Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) for LTE-Advanced Systems

In progressive pattern, 3GPP has continued to expand and improve capacity of LTE data and control channels especially for downlink transmissions. Among others, the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) was designated in 3GPP LTE release 8 for sending downlink control information (DCI) to user equipment (UE), The DCI message is needed by every UE within the network in order to be served or s...

A Comprehensive Analysis of Lte Physical Layer

The 3 rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) introduced Long Term Evolution (LTE) as the 3 rd generation of mobile communication standards. LTE Release 8 describes a mobile communication standard which supports up to 300 Mbps of data transmission in downlink using the OFDM scheme as well as up to 75 Mbps throughput for uplink using the SC-FDMA modulation. In this thesis, an in-depth study of ...
