Long　Term　Evolution　(LTE)　is　the　next　generation　wireless　broadband　technology　which　is　capable　of　delivering　high　data　transmission　rates　and　low　latency　with　reduced　costs.　A　key　research　topic　for　LTE　standard　is　to　design　efficient　and　reliable　Physical　Downlink　Shared　Channels　(PDSCH).　A　number　of　issues　regarding　the　design　and　analysis　of　PDSCH　are　discussed　in　this　paper,　such　as　the　PDSCH　link　level　and　system　level　performance　evaluation.　Based　on　simulations　and　analysis,　conclusions　have　been　reached.　These　conclusions　can　be　benifit　to　develop　the　LTE　system.
