The design of the LTE physical layer (PHY) is heavily influenced by requirements for high peak transmission rate (100 Mbps DL/50 Mbps UL), spectral efficiency, and multiple channel bandwidths (1.25-20 ...

To allow for coherent demodulation at the user equipment, reference symbols (or pilot symbols) are inserted in the OFDM time-frequency grid to allow for channel estimation. Downlink reference symbols ...

Abstract: Summary form only given. The Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has been defining the Long Term Evolution (LTE) for 3G radio access. LTE has several areas of focus. These areas ...

Abstract: This work contributes to the virtualization of the physical layer of wireless communication protocols, with focus on LTE. It describes the implementation of the uplink receiver side symbol ...

It first decodes the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) to obtain the Downlink Control Informations (DCIs) and Radio Network Temporary Identifiers (RNTIs) of all active users. Using decoded ...

Hardware Requirement Achieving real-time decoding of LTE traffic requires a high-performance CPU with multiple physical cores, especially during peak hours when the base station has many active users.
