 Exercise (1)
28

Given:

• Modulation = 64QAM
• Antenna = 2x2 MIMO
• Bandwidth = 20MHz

Solution:

• 1. Number of bits in one PRB = subcarriers * symbols * bits = 12 * 7 * 6 = 504 bits (0.5ms).

• 2. Minimum scheduling for user = 504 bits (0.5ms) + 504 bits (0.5ms) = 1008 bits per ms.

• 3. Number of bits in whole bandwidth = #PRB * bits = 100 * 1008 = 100800 bits per ms.

• 4. Transmission is 2x2 MIMO = 2 * 100800 = 201600 bits per ms by two transmission.

• 5. Other channels, occupy 25% of whole resource = 151200 bits per ms = 151.2 Mbps.

 Exercise (2)
29

Given:

• Modulation = 16QAM
• Antenna = 1x1 SISO
• Bandwidth = 20MHz

Solution:

1. Number of bits in one PRB = subcarriers * symbols * bits = 12 * 7 * 4 = 336 bits (0.5ms).

2. Minimum scheduling for user = 336 bits (0.5ms) + 336 bits (0.5ms) = 672 bits per ms.

3. Number of bits in whole bandwidth = #PRB * bits = 100 * 672 = 67200 bits per ms.

4. Transmission is 1x1 SISO = 1 * 67200 = 67200 bits per ms by one transmission.

5. Other channels, occupy 25% of whole resource = 50400 bits per ms = 50.4 Mbps.
