Performance of LTE downlink communication system in presence of electronic warfare spot jamming

Abstract

Wireless communication is one of the principally active zones of tools development and has become necessary part of everyday life. Simulation of wireless communication systems accurately is very important for predicting its performance under different scenarios. Long-Term Evolution (LTE) is named by next generation wireless communications. It is a standard for high-speed wireless communication for mobile phones and data terminals. In this paper, the performance of standard single-input-single-output (SISO) LTE Frequency Domain Duplex (FDD) downlink (DL) signal in additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel is evaluated in two scenarios without jamming and in presence of electronic warfare spot jamming. Firstly, the performance of the standard LTE communication system in absence of jamming is investigated by calculating the probability of Bit Error Rate (BER) and Frame Error Rate (FER) versus Signal Noise Ratio (SNR). Secondly, the performance in presence of electronic warfare spot jamming scheme is investigated by constant Jamming to Signal Ratio (JSR) and different values of the normalized jamming bandwidth. In order to illustrate the impact of jamming on the standard LTE DL wireless communication system, the measurement is evaluated by using the aid of SystemVue software program.
