Release 5 Blockset
The UTRA FDD system is one of the most intricate and complicated mobile communications specifications ever defined. Therefore, having the necessary tools to understand and test implementations of the system is more important than ever. One important component of this tool kit is the UTRA FDD Blockset from MAC Ltd
Based on the current 3GPP specifications, the UTRA FDD Release 5 Blockset enables an engineer to rapidly assemble transmitter channel models and therefore concentrate on the development of proprietary receivers, and in doing so provides a quick and easy way of becoming familiar with the specifications.
The UTRA FDD Release 5 Blockset enhances the UTRA FDD Release 4 Blockset to incorporate the latest physical layer features, including HSDPA.
Feature set of UTRA FDD Release 5 Blockset
- HSDPA
- Hybrid-Automatic Repeat Request (H-ARQ)
- QPSK and 16QAM modulation
- 2 ms transmission time interval
- Open loop transmit diversity
- Timing offsets between physical channels
UTRA FDD Release 5 Blockset
The UTRA FDD Release 5 Blockset is an optional extension of the UTRA FDD Release 4 Blockset that adds support for the HSDPA channels. To support HSDPA, two downlink channels are introduced, namely the High-Speed Shared Control Channel (HS-SCCH) and the High-Speed Downlink Shared Channel (HS-DSCH), consisting of one or more High-Speed Physical Downlink Shared Channels (HS-PDSCHs). For the uplink, there is only one channel, namely the High-Speed Dedicated Physical Control Channel (HS-DPCCH). These blocks have been designed to be compliant with the HSDPA channels described in the Release 5 UTRA FDD-mode specifications.

What is included?
- Each library is designed using a hierarchical approach - blocks in a sub-library are created using blocks from a lower-level sub-library.
- HTML on-line documentation - every block within a library has its own help page associated with it.
- Each library has a set of demonstration models.
- Every block in the library is configurable using parameters or dynamic inputs. Only parameters that are fixed within the specifications are fixed within the models.
- Simulation models can have their respective inputs driven by from a CSV file.
Development Requirements
Note: the UTRA FDD Release 5 Blockset requires the UTRA FDD Release 4 Blockset to be installed (with a valid license).
