Abstract—In this paper we present an initial performance evaluation of the 3GPP UTRA Long Term Evolution (UTRA LTE) uplink with baseline settings. The performance results are obtained from a detailed UTRA LTE uplink link level simulator suppo

OnPerformanceLimitsofDFTSpreadOFDMSystems DFT Spread OFDM has been proposed recently to reduce the Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) of conventional OFDM transmission. Besides PAPR reduction, an important implication of DFT Spreading is t
