Implementation of Platform for Measurement and Analysis on LTE Traffic and Radio Resource Utilization

摘要

This paper introduces a platform that can gather and analyze the scheduling information of LTE network by decoding downlink control channel. Without connection to commercial mobile network, it can identify the amount of mobile traffic and the utilization rate of frequency resources on a single LTE cell continuously while without any LTE subframe loss. In addition, it can be applicable for observing cell operating conditions and providing measurement dataset for network research. In this paper, we focus on describing configuration and operating procedure of platform, and introduce examples of measurement results.
