PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF COMP (COORDINATED MULTI POINT TRANSMISSION AND RECEPTION) IN LTE ADVANCED

Abstract

Third Generation Mobile standards are not sufficient to cater the ever increasing bandwidth demand of subscribers in the long run. LTE-Advanced being one of the contender for fourth generation Mobile network standard (IMT-Advanced), uses different techniques to enhance LTE in terms of throughput, coverage and latency. COMP (coordinated multipoint transmission and reception) is one of the key technologies, to be used in LTE-Advanced for better performance. In this thesis entitled “Performance simulation of COMP in LTE-Advanced”, I aim to measure the performance of COMP in LTE-Advanced in terms of better cell edge coverage and throughput.
