On the performance of LTE Physical Downlink Shared Channel

Long Term Evolution (LTE) is the next generation wireless broadband technology which is capable of delivering high data transmission rates and low latency with reduced costs. A key research topic for LTE standard is to design efficient and reliable Physical Downlink Shared Channels (PDSCH). A number of issues regarding the design and analysis of PDSCH are discussed in this paper, such as the PDSCH link level and system level performance evaluation. Based on simulations and analysis, conclusions have been reached. These conclusions can be benefit to develop the LTE system.
