Abstract—In this paper we present an initial performance
evaluation of the 3GPP UTRA Long Term Evolution (UTRA
LTE) uplink with baseline settings. The performance results
are obtained from a detailed UTRA LTE uplink link level
simulator supporting OFDMA and SC-FDMA schemes. The basic
transmission scheme for uplink direction is based on singlecarrier
transmission in the form of DFT Spread OFDM with
an MMSE receiver. Two antenna configurations, SISO and 1x2
SIMO are considered in the analysis of spectral efficiency in
addition to Adaptive Modulation and Coding (AMC) and L1-
HARQ. For assessment purposes, the performance results of
SC-FDMA are compared with OFDMA. It is shown that 1x2
SIMO greatly increases the spectral efficiency of SC-FDMA
making it comparable to OFDMA, especially for high coding
rate. Furthermore, SC-FDMA has a flexibility to increase BLER
performance by exploiting frequency diversity.
