Sažetak
This paper provides a simple estimation of the Long Term Evolution (LTE) physical and Medium Access Control (MAC) layer peak transmission performance-the irreducible Block-Error-Rate (BLER) that determines the Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) residual channel available to higher-layer protocols. With this regard, the general pre-HARQ BLER prediction is developed for the redundancy version 0 (RV0) codeword transmission, expressed by the Bit-Error-Rate (BER)), considering the cyclic prefix protection against inter-symbol interference sufficient to prevent long error bursts. This implies only sporadic bit error occurrences, exhibiting moderate mutual interdependence that we modelled considering errored bits of each block of data as a sample without replacement and consequently describing it with the hypergeometric distribution instead of the mostly used binomial one. The HARQ BLER estimation model is verified by both problem-dedicated Monte-Carlo simulations and industry-standard LTE software simulation tool, specifically for the LTE FDD downlink channel environment, as the test results exhibit excellent matching with the residual BLER prediction.
