For system bandwidth beyond 20 MHz, the only reasonable way to achieve LTE-Advanced highest target peak-throughput rate is to increase the transmission bandwidth, relative to Release 8. In order to provide the necessary bandwidth, LTEAdvanced specifies spectrum allocations of up to 100 MHz using ˇ°carrier aggregationˇ±, where multiple component carriers are combined. Therefore, to configure all component carriers that are LTE Release 8 compatible, at least when the aggregated numbers of component carriers in the Uplink (UL) and the Downlink (DL) must be the same. However, not all component carriers are necessarily Release 8 compatible. The main aim of this paper is to investigate a comprehensive analysis of physical layer throughput of LTEAdvanced (DL) and (UL) using Multi Input Multi Output channel (MIMO) 2x2 based on standard parameters for different channel bandwidths. %U http://www.iaesjournal.com/online/index.php/IJINS/article/view/452
