Abstract

Long Term Evolution (LTE) system employs Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) in downlink in order to support network deployment using various system bandwidth configurations i.e., 1.4MHz, 3MHZ, 5MHz, 10MHz, 15MHz and 20MHz. The bandwidth scalability enables operator to access multiple channels to achieve higher peak data rates. Also, the bandwidth scalability allows operators to deploy LTE network with the existing spectrum or newly licensed band. Therefore the study on performance of LTE system with different bandwidth configuration becomes vital. Hence in this paper, an attempt has been made to study and compare the performance of LTE system with different spectrum configuration i.e., 1.4MHz, 3MHz, 5MHz, 10MHz, 15MHz and 20MHz for Constant Bit Rate (CBR) traffic scenario in the downlink. The performance metrics considered for simulation studies are aggregate bytes received, average throughput, average delay and average jitter. Keywords- LTE, OFDMA, downlink, bandwidth scalability, aggregate bytes received, avearge throughput, avearge delay, average jitter
