Verification of OFDM error floor in time-dispersive LTE FDD DL channel

In this paper, the state-of-the-art laboratory environment is presented that is aimed for experimental verification of the earlier obtained analytical OFDM error floor model but now in concrete LTE FDD downlink channel conditions, which are for this purpose hardware and software simulated in the Communications Systems Laboratory of the University of Dubrovnik. At this point, the very preliminary verification of the earlier derived error floor formula is reported as the test results achieved by means of the industry-standard simulation tool closely match the ones coming out of the earlier model-specific basic Monte-Carlo simulations.
