8.3 UMTS Channel Simulator

This section presents the design and implementation procedure for a multimedia evaluation testbed of the UMTS forward link. A WCDMA physical link layer simulator has been implemented using the Signal Processing WorkSystem (SPW) software simulation tools developed by Cadence Design System Inc. [27]. The model has been developed in a generic manner that includes all the forward link radio configurations, channel structures, channel coding/decoding, spreading/de-spreading, modulation parameters, transmission modeling, and their corresponding data rates according to the UMTS specifications. The performance of the simulator model is validated by comparison with figures presented in the relevant 3GPP documents [28], [29] for the specified measurement channels, propagation environments, and interference conditions in [30]. Using the developed simulator, a set of UMTS error pattern files is generated for different radio bearer configurations in different operating environments, and the results are presented. Furthermore, UMTS link-level performance is enhanced by implementing a closed-loop power-control algorithm. A UMTS radio interface protocol model, which represents the data flow across the UMTS protocol layers, is implemented in Visual C++. It is integrated with the physical link layer model to emulate the actual radio interface experienced by users. This allows for interactive testing of the effects of different parameter settings of the UMTS Terrestrial ...
