You may hear it many times that the peak data rate of LTE is about 300Mbps?
How is the number calculated?
What are the assumptions behind?
Let's estimate it in a simple way. Assume 20 MHz channel bandwidth, normal CP, 4x4 MIMO.
First, calculate the number of resource elements (RE) in a subframe with 20 MHz channel bandwidth:
12 subcarriers x 7 OFDMA symbols x 100 resource blocks x 2 slots= 16800 REs per subframe. Each RE can carry a modu
Second, assume 64 QAM modulation and no coding, one modulation symbol will carry 6 bits.
The total bits in a subframe (1ms) over 20 MHz channel is 16800 modulation symbols x 6 bits / modulation symbol = 1008
Third, with 4x4 MIMO, the peak data rate goes up to 100.8 Mbps x 4 = 403 Mbps.
Fourth, estimate about 25% overhead such as PDCCH, reference signal, sync signals, PBCH, and some coding. We get 40
