DOCOMO Beijing Labs Accelerates the Development of Mobile Communications Technology

“With MATLAB we spend less time coding and more time developing innovative mobile communications algorithms. More importantly, with only minor modifications we can accelerate the simulation of algorithms on our computing cluster to thoroughly evaluate and verify them under a wide range of operating conditions and scenarios.” —Lead research engineer, DOCOMO Beijing Labs

Qimonda Develops High-Speed Data Interface for First-Silicon-Right Chip Based on GDDR5 in Record Tim

"Using MATLAB® and Simulink® we developed a complex design that combined functional and analytical models of our device. Model-Based Design enabled us to perform faster iterations to optimize performance, quality, and power efficiency – before going to silicon. By getting the information we needed from our model, we eliminated the delay and expense of making a test chip." - Dr. Peter Gregorius, Qimonda

Description

Introduction

Communications System Toolbox provides algorithms and tools for the design, simulation, and analysis of communications systems. These capabilities are provided as MATLAB® functions, MATLAB System objects, and Simulink® blocks. The system toolbox includes algorithms for source coding, channel coding, interleaving, modulation, equalization, synchronization, and channel modeling. Tools are provided for bit error rate analysis, generating eye and constellation diagrams, and visualizing channel characteristics.

The system toolbox also provides adaptive algorithms that let you model dynamic communications systems that use OFDM, OFDMA, and MIMO techniques. Algorithms support fixed-point data arithmetic and C or HDL code generation.

The system toolbox includes sample models that provide a starting point for implementing MIMO, OFDM, and other advanced communication system architectures.
