Abstract :
This paper presents a proposed measurement method utilizing the reverberation chamber to measure MAC layer throughput for LTE enabled wireless devices. By using the reverberation chamber a statistically isotropic environment is produced, which is a suitable reference environment for terminal antenna testing.
