3G toolset supports compressed mode

RadioLab 3G 2.1 offers 3G UMTS/W-CDMA wireless systems designers new functionality to support simulation of compressed mode, critical for seamless call-handovers between W-CDMA networks and GSM.

RadioLab 3G 2.1 offers third-generation (3G) UMTS/W-CDMA wireless systems designers new functionality to support simulation of compressed mode, which is critical for seamless call-handovers between W-CDMA networks and GSM.

RadioLab 3G 2.1 now supports the compressed mode feature-set, offering design-time exploration of one of the more challenging parts of the W-CDMA standard.

It allows designers to test algorithms in a behavioural environment, which minimizes the chances of reworking hardware late in the development cycle.

RadioLab 3G 2.1 supports all three aspects of compressed mode including spreading factor reduction, puncturing and higher-layer scheduling.

With RadioLab 3G 2.1, designers can more efficiently develop W-CDMA/UMTS projects for next generation handsets and basestations in three easy steps: create, validate and migrate.

These steps enable designers to test and validate their designs in software before converting to hardware, saving them valuable time and money.

In addition, RadioLab 3G 2.1 is built on The MathWorks Matlab and Simulink software, two of the most widely used system-level design and modelling environments, allowing for easy development integration.

"RadioLab is an ideal development tool for helping designers work through all the complexities associated with creating 3G basestations and handsets", said Paul Bruce, RadioScape's RadioLab 3G product manager.

"With the latest release of RadioLab, we reinforce our commitment as a vital solutions partner for wireless developers creating 3G wireless communications products".

Existing customers who have purchased RadioLab 3G 2.0 will receive an upgrade at no extra charge.

RadioLab 3G 2.1 adds support for Windows XP and is compatible with Matlab version 13.

The product is available immediately.
