WCDMA Mobile Radio Network Simulator with Hybrid Link Adaptation

Abstract

The main aim of this article is the description of the mobile radio network model, which is used for simulation of authentic conditions in mobile radio network and supports several link adaptation algorithms. Algorithms were designed to increase efficiency of data transmission between user equipment and base station (uplink). The most important property of the model is its ability to simulate several radio cells (base stations) and their mutual interactions. The model is created on the basic principles of UMTS network and takes into account parameters of real mobile radio networks.
