How to increase Throughput in LTE?

Question

how to calculate throughput in DL and UL in 5CA DL and 2CA UL for different bandwidth;

Answer 1

Broadly speaking there are three methods to increase throughput in LTE:

1. Increasing Spectral Efficiency (bits/s/Hz):
   Techniques includes (a) Higher Order Modulation, (b) Higher order MIMO

2. Increasing the Spectrum Utilization Efficiency (bits/s/Hz/km-sq):
   Techniques include (a) Small Cell & Heterogeneous Networking (HetNet) using eICIC, (b) Implementing Coordinated Multi-point (CoMP) Transmission & Reception

3. Increasing Bandwidth (Add spectrum): Techniques include (a) Increasing channel bandwidth upto 20Mhz for single carrier, (b) Aggregating Multiple Channels using Intra-Band or Inter-Band Carrier Aggregation

Comments

Well explained.

Answer 2

As far as I know, throughput can be increased using following techniques:
1. Increase the bandwidth (Carrier aggregation)
2. Increase MIMO
3. Better scheduling algorithms

There may exist other techniques as well.
