LTE/VoLTE - KPIs, call flows and link budget

LTE/VoLTE drive data analysis using WindCatcher, Mapinfo to understand and trouble-shoot network related issues PROJECTS

• Performance Impacts on Mobile Broadband Data in a Mixed VoLTE environment Platform: R Studio

Description: The direct impact of VoLTE (MOUs) on throughput for LTE (data) users at different bandwidths was simulated using an M/G/1 priority queueing model with non-preemptive scheduling to explore scheduler latencies that can be expected when there are services with different levels of priority on the same channel.

• Simulation of Bit-error rate for different modulation schemes Platform: Matlab

Description: Simulated Bit-Error Rate (BER) dependency on physical RF parameters like range, receiver and transmitter antenna height.

• Design, Simulation and analysis of Microstrip Patch antenna Platform: Ansys HFSS

Description: Microstrip patch antenna was successfully designed, simulated and analyzed using Ansys HFSS. The radiation pattern of the designed antenna was observed and the performance parameters like gain, insertion loss and input impedance were obtained.
