Performance Assessment of Multi Antenna Techniques in LTE

High data rate necessities of the Long Term Evolution - Advanced (LTE-A) systems can be achieved by adopting superior Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) antenna techniques on both uplink and downlink. The LTE air-interface ropes multiple-antenna convey the arrays and unusual modes of multiple antenna transmissions. In this paper, routine is dissimilar MIMO techniques is evaluated using QualNet network simulator. The MIMO techniques measured for performance evaluation are Single-Input or Multiple-Output (SIMO), Open Loop Spatial Multiplexing (OLSM) and Space-Frequency Block Coding (SFBC). The presentation metrics measured are throughput, delay and jitter.
