Physical Layer <strong>Modeling</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>LTE</strong> <strong>System</strong> <strong>Level</strong> Simulationdepicts throughput results for each <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> four transmit modes considered: (i) singletransmit antenna, (ii) TxD, (iii) OLSM, <strong>and</strong> (iv) CLSM. <strong>System</strong> level results (solidline) are plotted overlapped to link level ones (dashed line).6655throughput [Mbit/s]4321x2 MRC (link level)11x2 MRC (system level)SISO (link level)SISO (system level)0−10 0 10 20 30 40SNR [dB]throughput [Mbit/s]4321TxD 2x2 (link level)0−10 0TxD 2x2 (system level)10 20 30 40SNR [dB]Figure 3.16: Link level <strong>and</strong> system level simulation results, single cell scenario.

Right: CLSM transmit mode (2×2, 4×2,<strong>and</strong> 4×4).As observed from <strong>the</strong> results in Figures 3.16 <strong>and</strong> 3.17, <strong>the</strong> results <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> link abstractionmodel can be considered accurate with some deviation in <strong>the</strong> four-transmitantenna configuration <strong>of</strong> OLSM. As explained in Section 3.1.1.2, <strong>the</strong> block fadingassumption is actually not valid for <strong>the</strong> OLSM case, but a reduced-complexity approximationis employed so as to still be able to calculate a single value per TTI.As expected, accuracy is highest for <strong>the</strong> two transmit antenna case, where only oneprecoder is employed. From <strong>the</strong> observed results, it is concluded that for <strong>the</strong> highSNR regime, <strong>the</strong> 4×2 OLSM link abstraction should not be employed, as significantdeviations are present due to <strong>the</strong> inconsistency <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> block fading assumption.45
