Abstract :
This paper describes a software reconfigurable core for use in 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) mobile terminals. It contains the W-CDMA transceiver functionality of the baseband. Different 3G applications can be executed on it by reconfiguring the parameters in the memory map. A bit-accurate C-based simulator of the W-CDMA core allows physical layer simulation at a reasonable speed. Co-simulation with other baseband functions, channel models and L1 software is supported as well
