Abstract

This article presents a comparative performance analysis of the turbo and convolutional encoders applicable to LTE-A Downlink, access technology that is booming in the region. For this, simulation models were developed at the link level in Simulink® based on recommendations from the ETSI, that allowed characterizing the response of the coders in terms of bit error rate and throughput finding the particular situations where it is preferable to use convolutional encoding on the In order to optimize the use of computational and energy resources of the devices in the mobile network.
