| Summary: | The migration of mobile communication technologies are divided into four generations.
Long Term Evolution (LTE) is called LTE rel-8, the evolution of LTE led to new
technology referred to as LTE-Advanced, is the true fourth generation (4G) evolution
step, with the first release of LTE (rel-8) which was labeled as “3.9G”. LTE-Advanced
is a mobile broadband access technology founded as a response to the need for the
improvement to support the increasing demand for high data rates. The standard for
LTE-A is a milestone in the development of Third Generation Partnership Project
(3GPP) technologies. Carrier Aggregation is one of the most distinct features of LTE�Advanced that makes the bandwidth extension of up to 100 MHz thus the theoretical
peak data rate of LTE-A may be even up to 1 Gbps. This proposed system presents new
LTE-Advanced depending on carrier aggregation to obtain better performance of the
system. The new design of LTE-Advanced offers higher peak data rates than even the
initial LTE-A; while the spectrum efficiency has been amended; As a result, the
aggregated LTE-A will support 120 MHz instead of 100 MHz in order to obtain higher
peak data rate access up to 4 Gbps. The system was applied with 8x8 Multiple Input
Multiple Output (MIMO) using different modulation techniques: QPSK, 16 QAM, and
64 QAM. From the simulation results, it is clear that proposed LTE-Advanced with 64
QAM has high values of throughput in case of depending code rate equals to 5/6 with
8x8 MIMO. |
