Abstract :
Evaluation of the candidates for the next generation cellular wireless standards is currently going on widely. One critical aspect in the standardisation process is the definition of terrestrial physical layer interface. The physical layer principles along with resource allocation mechanism on medium access control (MAC) together define how well the physical layer resources can be utilised. The prototyping environment presented in this paper has been built to analyse and validate effectiveness of the different design choices. As an example, the case considered is wideband time division multiple access (W-TDMA) based air interface developed in the EU ACTS AC090 FRAMES project
