Abstract

In this paper, the effect of Doppler shifts on the downlink channel of the Long Term Evolution network is investigated at different frequencies using a new simulation setup. To this aim, an integrated simulation setup has been developed, which includes a cellular environment with a Bernoulli signal generator, a propagation channel with Rayleigh flat fading using four transmit antennas, and two receive antennas. Among the simulation results, the bit error rate of the transmit diversity scheme is analyzed. It is shown that an increase in antenna transmit power provides higher throughput although yields to a higher number of errors.
