Abstract
Long-Term Evolution (LTE) is the next generation of current mobile telecommunication networks. LTE has a new flat radio-network architecture and significant increase in spectrum efficiency. In this paper, main focus on throughput performance analysis of robust MIMO channel estimators for Downlink Long Term Evolution-Advance (DL LTE-A)-4G system using three Artificial Neural Networks: Feed-forward neural network (FFNN), Cascade-forward neural network (CFNN) and Time-Delay neural network (TDNN) are adopted to train the constructed neural networks’ models separately using Back-Propagation Algorithm. The methods use the information received by the received reference symbols to estimate the total frequency response of the channel in two important phases. In the first phase, the proposed ANN based method learns to adapt to the channel variations, and in the second phase, it estimates the MIMO channel matrix and try to improve throughput of LTE. The performance of the estimation methods is evaluated by simulations in Vienna LTE-A DL Link Level Simulator. Performance of the proposed channel estimator, Time-Delay neural network (TDNN) is compared with traditional Least Square (LS) algorithm and ANN based other estimators for Closed Loop Spatial Multiplexing (CLSM) - Single User Multi-input Multi-output (MIMO-2×2 and 4×4) in terms of throughput. Simulation result shows TDNN gives better performance than other ANN based estimations methods and LS.
