On the integration of Grassmannian Constellations into LTE networks: A link-level performance study

Abstract

This paper presents Grassmannian signaling as a transmission scheme that can be integrated in Long Term Evolution (LTE) to support higher user speeds and to increase the throughput achievable in the high Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) regime. This signaling is compared, under realistic channel assumptions, with the diversity transmission modes standardized in LTE, in particular, Space-Frequency Block Coding and Frequency-Switched Transmit Diversity for two and four transmit antennas, respectively. In high-speed scenarios, and even with high antenna correlation, Grassmannian signaling outperforms the LTE diversity transmission modes starting from four transmit antennas. Furthermore, in the high SNR regime, Grassmannian signaling can increase the link data rate up to 10% and 15% for two and four antennas, respectively.

Exploring LTE‐V link‐level performance under V‐CPS by geometry enhanced winner II channel model

“…Certain public simulators were described in other works . For example, Cabrejas et al addressed Long‐Term Evolution (LTE) link‐ and system‐level simulations but does not integrate a device‐to‐device (D2D) communications layer, Piro et al added a device‐to‐device feature but does not investigate a V2V mobility scenario, and Virdis et al provided a heterogeneous network simulation for evaluating the coexistence of 802.11p and LTE but does not consider V2V. For these reasons, we developed a link‐level simulator that is based on the Third‐Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Release 14, which was written in MATLAB and is referred to as an LTE‐V simulator.…”

Digital-Twin-Enabled City-Model-Aware Deep Learning for Dynamic Channel Estimation in Urban Vehicular Environments

“…However, in highly-mobile vehicular networks, the high-speed movement of vehicles causes Doppler frequency shift as well as carrier frequency offsets (CFOs) [13], resulting in inter-carrier interference (ICI) in addition to multipath transmissions in urban canyon environments [14]. Furthermore, a large body of work in the VANET literature is based on link-layer simulations [15], and most of them assume some deterministic or stochastic radio propagation models like Rayleigh fading in wireless communications [16]. There is a relatively small body of literature that considers realistic building effects in urban areas.…”
