Good!

One more information I can offer is that actually we don't need 30.72Msps as
it in 3GPP spec. I have developed an LTE Downlink Receiver which works on
19.2Msps for 100RB LTE system and it decodes actual 4G/LTE (both TDD and
FDD) signal in field Beijing successfully (SIB information is parsed finally).

Why 19.2Msps is important? I think some cheap SDR front-ends will benefit
from that, such as hackRF which only support ~20Msps and 20MHz bandwidth.

The method is simple: 19.2*8/5 = 30.72, which is a general fractional
sampling rate conversion method in Digital Signal Processing.

See the project here: github.com/JiaoXianjun    LTE-Cell-Scanner project.
