Abstract
Simulators are a powerful tool to evaluate current mobile communications standards and to investigate new transmission and receiver techniques. The next step should then be to perform measurements in a real-world environment. Therefore, a very flexible wireless testbed, the Vienna MIMO Testbed was developed at TU Wien which allows for Long Term Evolution (LTE) measurements including the Vienna LTE-A Link Level Simulators as signal source and receiver.
