Abstract :
The aim of this paper is to evaluate the impact of a novel method for advanced antenna technologies for the downlink performance of the 3GPP long term evolution (LTE) networks. The network performance impact of 3 times 2 vertical sectorization in different macro-cellular network scenarios for various combinations of antenna parameter configurations have been studied in terms of signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) and throughput performance. Simulation studies are performed for uniform UE distribution and full-buffer traffic by using LTE snap-shot simulator and three dimensional propagation modeling.
