Practical measurement of data throughput in LTE network depending on physical layer parameters

We live in an exciting world where technology is evolving extremely fast. Long Term Evolution (LTE) mobile communication networks are designed to bring high speed connection availability to a high number of users and is very successful in achieving such goal. This paper presents results of a practical measurement campaign in a laboratory LTE setup and provides a means of low complexity estimation of instantaneous throughput, which is beneficial in applications where its knowledge is critical, such as adaptive video streaming.
