LTE Performance Study: Measurements based performance analysis in three different types of outdoor environments

Long Term Evolution (LTE) has been designed with new architecture and features to meet user’s high data rates demand for a longer term in the future. For this study outdoor measurements have been conducted in three different environments macro/rural, urban and suburban with single user measurements and performance analysis scenario. LTE performance in three different types of environments has been analyzed using few key performance indicators and parameters including RSRP, RS SNR, MAC downlink throughput, timing advance and CQI.
