Simulating the long term evolution uplink physical layer

This paper describes an open LTE uplink link level simulator. The simulator is developed using MATLAB and is offered under an academic non-profit license, including the source code. This released model allows the easy and open reproduction of results which addresses a common problem found in signal processing research in which reproducing the work of others is either highly complex or just not possible. This paper presents the basic structure of the simulator, as well as first results for AWGN channels, showing BER and throughput performance.
