The best, probably OPNET or Qualnet

The inconvenience of both is the license model.
If you want a more releaxed license model you can use NS-3 or Omnet++ both simulators offer a LTE model
Dear Ayeaha H. Ali,
I would suggest you to use NS-3 simulator in order to characterize the LTE-A scenario that you prefer and analysize the system performance in term of throughput and delay (i.e., ad you mentioned in your question).
You can find additional information here,
https://www.nsnam.org/
In addition, if you want an example about the output that you can obtain through NS-3, you can read some of my articles here in research gate.
Best,
Antonino
From my experience, NS3 requires a steep learning attempt. However, NS3 offers you a great deep drive into the desired protocols. In addition, the community is large and there are plenty of available modules.
On the other hand, OPNET or now Riverbed can give you a very quick simulation setup. Great UI can offer you "no coding" simulation and graphical results. Those results are ready/near ready for publication. Free license is also available for academic use.
My preference is OPNET for the very quick simulation scenarios, performance evaluation and NS3 for new proposed algorithm/protocol.
Hope this help.
You can you want a comparison between different network simulators, you can refer to this paper:

If you are focusing on WSN, you can refer to this paper:
