Chapter 11 - Link-Level and System-Level Performance of LTE-Advanced

Abstract

Link-level and system-level simulations are used to evaluate the performance of mobile radio access technologies under various operating conditions and deployment scenarios. While the simulations do not model the entire deployment parameters and propagation conditions that may be involved in a practical scenario due to increased computational complexity of the model, the statistical modeling of the parameters and estimation/measurement errors should be sufficiently accurate such that the simulation results are faithful representative of the performance in an actual deployment.
