Which has better Throughput: TDD or FDD and why?

Hi Experts.

If TDD and FDD are using the same bandwidth, coverage, quality, hardware (RRU) and configuration, then which will be better in throughput TDD or FDD and why?

I think FDD will have higher Throughput because you can use all time for either UL or DL.

In TDD time is shared between UL and DL.

Yes, FDD had higher value (Throughput).

Spectrum efficiency of TDD is around 80% of FDD.

Thanks all.

If we talk about here two other terms: Interference and Switching?

Which one has high Interference?

Because of all this effect SE is less in TDD than FDD.

Picking FDD it TDD depends on several things…

Like deployment channel modelling, interference also which TDD mode you pick.

But in general you can pick FDD to get simultaneously good Throughput both in TDD and FDD.
