LTE Throughput Analyzer
Generate throughput curves for physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) conformance test analysis
Description
The LTE Throughput Analyzer app performs PDSCH demodulation performance testing. TS 36.101 [1], Annex A.3 specifies RMCs for UE performance testing.
The app also performs analysis and testing for custom user-defined measurement
channels settings. For an example, see LTE Throughput Analyzer User-Defined Testing. This approach can also be
used for simulating transmission modes 7–10, specifically, when the transmission scheme
(TxScheme
) is 'Port5'
,
'Port7-8'
, 'Port8'
, or
'Port7-14'
where DM-RS based channel estimation is required for
PDSCH demodulation. In this case, the precoding matrix W
is randomly
defined per subframe according to TS 36.101 [1],
Table 8.3.1-1 for FDD and Table 8.3.2-1 for TDD.

Examples
Perform 4-by-2 Transmit Diversity Conformance Test
Use the LTE Throughput Analyzer app to run a conformance test for a single codeword RMC R.12-9RB for the transmit diversity transmission scheme with EPA-5 fading.
Open the LTE Throughput Analyzer app.
Adjust default runtime parameter settings:
Set Reference channel to
R.12-9RB
.For SNR (dB), enter
[-3.0 -1.0 1.0 3.0]
.For Simulation length (frames), enter
20
.
Select Start simulation. The app provides the Estimated time remaining. When the simulation finishes, the dialog box shows performance curves.
The simulation result for a 20-frame run is displayed in the MATLAB Command Window.
Result for -3 dB SNR Throughput: 47.65% Result for -1 dB SNR Throughput: 87.65% Result for 1 dB SNR Throughput: 95.59% Result for 3 dB SNR Throughput: 100.00%

LTE Throughput Analyzer User-Defined Testing
Open the LTE throughput analyzer app and run a user-defined measurement channel. Define a custom measurement channel. You can select any RMC and change any settings, though care must be taken not to define an invalid configuration.
For this example, start with an R.3 RMC, and adjust the number of resource blocks from 50 to 30.
cmc = lteRMCDL('R.3');
cmc.NDLRB = 30
cmc = struct with fields:
RC: 'R.3'
NDLRB: 30
