Abstract:
In this paper, we study the performance of the MIMO Schemes in the 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) system with $5$ MHz bandwidth. As performances metrics, the Block Error Rate (BLER) and the Data Throughput are evaluated in terms of Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) for three different Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) schemes as defined in LTE standard. Two transmit diversity schemes known as Space Frequency Block Codes (SFBC) and Frequency Switched Transmit Diversity (FSTD) as well as one Open Loop Spatial Multiplexing (OLSM) scheme are considered in the evaluation. The performance of the three MIMO schemes are compared to the performance of Single Input Single Output (SISO) scheme to evaluate the improvement in BLER and data throughput of the system. The ITU pedestrian B channel with high order modulation and coding scheme is considered for the evaluation.
