6.0 WCDMA The WCDMA scheme has been developed as a joint effort between ETSI and ARIB dur- ing the second half of 1997 (30). The ETSI WCDMA scheme and the ARIB WCDMA scheme have been developed from the FMA2 scheme in Europe (3137) and the Core-A scheme in Japan (3843), respectively. The uplink of the WCDMA scheme is based mainly on the FMA2 scheme, while the downlink is based on the Core-A scheme. In this section, main technical features of the ARIB/ETSI WCDMA scheme are presented. Table 2 lists the main parameters of WCDMA (2).
6.0 WCDMA The WCDMA scheme has been developed as a joint effort between ETSI and ARIB during the second half of 1997 [30]. The ETSI WCDMA scheme and the ARIB WCDMA scheme have been developed from the FMA2 scheme in Europe [3137] and the Core-A scheme in Japan [3843], respectively. The uplink of the WCDMA scheme is based mainly on the FMA2 scheme, while the downlink is based on the Core-A scheme. In this section, main technical features of the ARIB/ETSI WCDMA scheme are presented. Table 2 lists the main parameters of WCDMA [2].
ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper is to present the results and the analysis of the implementation of WCDMA applications into programmable and reconfigurable platforms. WCDMA is integrated in the third-generation radio communication systems and represents one of the more complex part in term of computation needs. We consider in this paper the implementation of transmitter and receiver algorithms.
