Abstract—LTE multicast has been recognized as an efficient technique to transmit a large volume of data to multiple mobile stations simultaneously. However, with the growth of wireless communications, it is common to find two different systems being deployed in the same area. This creates adjacent channel interference (ACI) which can result in significant reduction in neighbor system capacity. In this paper we adopt MATLAB simulations to investigate throughput degradation resulting from ACI. This paper also illustrates average throughput with different sizes of guard bands. Furthermore, simulations results conclude that without guard band, the average throughput level is unacceptable to operate LTE multicast system.
