Refarming of frequency 700 MHz analysis for long term evolution (LTE) in Indonesia using link budget calculation

Long Term Evolution (LTE) is known as broadband technology with bandwidth varying from 1.4 to 20 MHz which uses different modulation techniques at different distances. However, the availability of frequency allocations for LTE is exhausted. Now, the opportunity of frequency allocation for LTE emerges along with the government plan to change analog television (478-806 MHz) with 8 MHz bandwidth into digital television because digital television needs less bandwidth than analog television. The contribution of this paper is to know how many eNodeBs needed for LTE FDD or LTE TDD implementation for frequency of 700 MHz and to know the best scenarios for slot allocation of LTE providers.
