Abstract:
Control channels play a key role in the evaluation of mobile system performance. Authors have evaluated the performance of control channels implementation in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system. The paper deals with simulating a complete signal processing chain for the Physical Control Format Indicator Channel (PCFICH) and Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) in an LTE system, Release 8. We implemented a complete signal processing chain for downlink control channels as an extension of the existing MATLAB LTE downlink simulator. The paper shows results of the PCFICH and PDCCH control channel computer performance analysis in various channel conditions. The presented results can be compared with the performance of data channels.
