Abstract

Long Term Evolution - LTE has been the dominant mobile technology nowadays with the main advantages of high data rates, antenna diversity and spectrum flexibility. Efforts were made to emulate the LTE technology using SDR equipment, the most notable being OpenLTE, which is an open source implementation and which works using B200 USRP boards. This paper studies the quality of service parameters in a private LTE network which runs over multiple USRPs that act as eNodeBs and OpenLTE provides the core part of the network.
