WHAT ARE THE THEORETICAL PEAK DATA RATES ASSUMPTIONS?

For DOWNLINK:

Data rates of upto 300 Mbps can be achieved , assuming

• 4×4 MIMO
• Best RF conditions available
• 1 user in the network
• Rough estimation on the overhead. (Meaning minimum overhead needed)

Keeping the above assumptions in mind. The 3GPP requirements of 100 Mbps peak data rate in Downlink can be achieved.

For UPLINK:

Data rates of more than 80 Mbps can be achieved .

• Assuming the similar assumptions as in case of DL.
• 1 UE Tx antenna

Keeping the above assumptions in mind, the 3GPP uplink requirement of 50 Mbps can be achieved.
