Abstract

In this article the effect of LTE network time synchronization in local area network has been investigated. We considered an indoor office scenario. The investigation is conducted by means of a LTE system-level simulator. The simulator is offered for free under an academic, noncommercial use license. Long Term Evolution (LTE) is a cellular technology developed to support diversity of data traffic at potentially high rates. It is foreseen to extend the capacity and improve the performance of current 3G cellular networks. By means of a simulation process the performance obtained with different synchronization types is compared. We aimed to find out the benefit that synchronization can offer. We want to justify the need for network synchronization, if any.
