The WCDMA Physical Layer Demo consists of an end-to-end (transmitter-to-receiver) simulation of the Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) Downlink physical layer for several Dedicated Channels (DCH) as specified by the 3Gpp standard (Release 99).
This a very simple baseband simulator for SC-FDMA system. This simulator is part of the upcoming book “Single Carrier FDMA: A New Air Interface for Long Term Evolution” (Wiley, Nov. 2008) which I co-authored with professor David J. Goodman at Polytechnic University.
The purpose of this simulator is to give some concrete idea of how SC-FDMA system works. It does lack many realistic and sophisticated features such as channel coding, time-varying fading channel model, soft decision decoding, etc. Regardless, I am hoping that it will help you understand SC-FDMA which is a fairly new development in 3Gpp LTE.
