| Popis: | Evolved Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) is a new technology that targets the long-term evolution (LTE) of third generation. The E-UTRA technology has recently been standardized by the Third-Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) as a set of (series_36) specifications. The standardization process is almost complete; this paper does not focus on comparing specific proposed schemes but instead aims to outline the system performance more in general. E-UTRA operates in the packet-switched domain; hence, all traffic is handled by the packet protocols. The analysis is shown for Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and Best Effort (BE) data, as these are common examples of real-time and non-real-time traffic, respectively. The performance is given in the VoIP study as the number of satisfied voice users per cell and in the BE study as the cumulative probability distribution of user (or cell) throughput, which was scaled to the spectral efficiency values, given both at the mean and at the cell edge. The VoIP capacity extends beyond 350 users in downlink and 230 users in uplink, which is a considerable increase compared with the high-speed packet-access (HSPA) reference. The BE spectral efficiency meets the 3GPP targets and yields impressive gains of order 2.5-3 times the well-performing HSPA reference. This clearly exceeds the mean of 1.5 b/s/Hz/cell in downlink and 0.8 b/s/Hz/cell in uplink for a baseline antenna configuration with penetration loss of 20 dB. In some scenarios, these mean gains exceed four times the reference. |
