5MHz Bandwidth Capacity Calculations

The document calculates the capacity of a 5MHz bandwidth LTE network using QPSK modulation and a normal cyclic prefix. It does this by first determining the number of resource blocks, then the total number of resource elements. It multiplies the resource elements by the bits per symbol for QPSK to get the total bits transferred in a subframe. Dividing this by the subframe duration gives a capacity of 8.4 MBPS. Capacities for BPSK and 64QAM modulations are also provided.

Resource Element = Covered by 1 sub carrier and one symbol period i.

e 1 Symbol
Resource Block = Covered by 12 Subcarriers and 6 or 7 symbols(Based on Cyclic prefix)
We can calculate the capacity if we know the Bandwidth allocated,Modulation scheme used and
Cyclic Prefix type.
Consider
Bandwidth Allocated = 5MHz
Modulation Scheme = QPSK(2 its per symbol)
Cyclic prefix used = Normal Cyclic Prefix (7 symbols in a slot)
Capacity = No of bits transferred in a sub frame / Duration of the Subframe(i.e 1milli sec)
Calculation No of Bits transferred in a Subframe
Total number of Resource block in a slot = Bandwidth / (Each subcarrier bandwidth * no of
subcarriers in a Resource Block)
Bandwidth = 5Mhz
Each sub carrier width = 15Khz
No of sub carriers in a Resource Block = 12 (As 12 Subcarrier is 1 Resource block )
Calculation of total no of resource blocks in 5MHz Bandwidth
so Resource block in one slot = 5 Mhz / (15 KHz *12 ) = 27.77 (But used RBs will be 25 for
5MHz bandwidth)
so Total Resource block in one subframe = 2 * Resource blocks in a slot = 50 RBs
Calculation of total no of symbols/Resource Elements in 5MHz Bandwidth
Total no of symbols / Resource Elements = 50 * no of symbols(REs) in a Resource block
No of symbols(REs) in a resource block = 12 subcarrier * 7 symbols = 84 symbols(REs)
Total symbols(REs ) in 50 Resource blocks = 50 * 84 = 4200 Resource Elements.
****Calculation of total no of bits sent in 5MHz Bandwidth in one subframe ****
In one symbol we can send no of bits at a time which depends on the modulation scheme (like
BPSK,QPSK ,64QAM
BPSK - 1 bit,QPSK - 2 bit ,64 QAM - 6bits in a Symbol/ Resource elements
We will consider QPSK Scheme so in one symbol 2bits we can send.
So 1 Symbol = 2 bits.
So total no of Bits sent in a subframe = 2 * 4200 = 8400 bits.
So capacity = 8400 / 1ms = 8.4 MBPS

So capacity in 5MHz Bandwidth with QPSK Modulation with normal cyclic Prefix is 8.4MBPS.
if Modulation scheme is BPSK, 1 bits in a symbol = 1 * 4200 / 1ms = 4.2 MBPS
if Modulation scheme is 64QAM , 6 bits in a symbol = 6 * 4200 / 1ms = 25.2 MBPS.
