The simulator includes an error model of the data plane (i.e., PDSCH) according to the standard link-to-system mapping (LSM) techniques. The choice is aligned with the standard system simulation methodology of OFDMA radio transmission technology. Thanks to LSM we are able to maintain a good level of accuracy and at the same time limiting the computational complexity increase. It is based on the mapping of single link layer performance obtained by means of link level simulators to system (in our case network) simulators. In particular link the layer simulator is used for generating the performance of a single link from a PHY layer perspective, usually in terms of code block error rate (BLER), under specific static conditions. LSM allows the usage of these parameters in more complex scenarios, typical of system/network simulators, where we have more links, interference and "colored" channel propagation phenomena (e.g., frequency selective fading).
To do this the Vienna LTE Simulator [Vienna]_ has been used for what concerns the extraction of link layer performance and the Mutual Information Based Effective SINR (MIESM) as LSM mapping function using part of the work recently published by the Signet Group of University of Padua [PaduaPEM]_.

The simulator provides a matlab script (``/lte/model/JakesTraces/fading-trace-generator.m``) for generating traces based on the format used by the simulator.
In detail, the channel object created with the rayleighchan function is used for filtering a discrete-time impulse signal in order to obtain the channel impulse response. The filtering is repeated for different TTI, thus yielding subsequent time-correlated channel responses (one per TTI). The channel response is then processed with the ``pwelch`` function for obtaining its power spectral density values, which are then saved in a file with the proper format compatible with the simulator model.
