Abstract
This paper presents LTE-LAA and Wi-Fi physical layer simulation results in unlicensed frequency bands in indoor environments in the case of two antennas at the transmitter and receiver sides. As expected, the results show that LTE outperforms Wi-Fi based on BCC decoder. The general trend is the higher the bit rate is, the greater the LTE gain is compared to Wi-Fi. Tables of quality are provided: for a target BER, the required SNR for both systems are given. Furthermore, the LTE coverage distance gain compared to Wi-Fi system is discussed.
