Detailed Documentation

This paper presents uplink and downlink simulations in WCDMA multipath environments conducted according to ETSI standards. The simulation framework includes MATLAB implementations of key components such as: - Multipath channel modeling using tapped-delay lines with Rayleigh fading - RAKE receiver implementation with maximum ratio combining - Closed-loop power control algorithms for both uplink and downlink - Spreading and despreading operations using OVSF codes The research was conducted by The Mobile and Portable Radio Research Group at The Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, located in Blacksburg, Virginia. The simulation architecture models realistic multipath propagation conditions and evaluates system performance through BER calculations and power efficiency metrics.
