Abstract :
This paper presents the system performance analysis of 3GPP Long-Term Evolution (LTE) and IEEE 802.11 Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN) in a situation where LTE downlink (DL) has been expanded over to unlicensed frequency band usually used by WLAN. Simple fractional bandwidth sharing mechanism is used to allow both technologies to transmit. The system performance is evaluated by means of fully dynamic network simulations.
