EB Releases Spatial Channel Modeling Tool.The new SCM/SCME emulation method and tool to improve the wireless system performance in WiMAX, LTE (Long Term Evolution) See 3GPP. and beyond OULU, Finland -- EB, a developer of cutting edge embedded technology solutions for automotive and wireless industries, today announced the availability of its Spatial Channel Modeling Tool for its EB Propsim radio channel emulators for Mobile WiMAX and 3GPP GPP Government Performance Project GPP General Purpose Processor GPP General Physical Preparedness GPP Gambian People's Party GPP Good Pharmacy Practice GPP Gross Primary Productivity GPP Green Procurement Program GPP Generic Packetized Protocol LTE. The Spatial Channel Modeling Toolsupports both the use of SCM (1) (Software Configuration Management, Source Code Management) See configuration management. (2) See supply chain management. and SCME SCME Student Coalition for Marriage Equality SCME Society of Clinical & Medical Electrologists, Inc. (Malden, Massachusetts) SCME Southern California Mortgage Exchange channel models and is ideal for testing a range of applications including mobile devices and base stations. EB's Spatial Channel Modeling Tool is based on a geometry-based stochastic modeling method for system-level emulations between multiple base stations and multiple mobile stations. Performance metrics such as throughput and delay are measured over a large number of emulation runs, called "drops", which consist of a predefined number of radio frames. During a drop, the channel experiences fast fading according to the movement of the terminals. The new tool allows users to accurately control and adjust the most crucial parameters affecting single link level and system level channel conditions including scenarios with multi-users, handoffs, interference and other multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO (Multiple Input/Multiple Output) Pronounced "my-mo," it is the use of multiple transmitters and receivers (multiple antennas) on wireless devices for improved performance. ) antenna configurations. EB's Spatial Channel Modeling Tool helps handset, mobile terminal and base station developers reveal MIMO transceiver design errors and optimize their network level algorithms to perform maximum data throughputs in most channel conditions occurring in a field to ensure the best end-user experience possible. "The move from conventional tapped delay line channel models to spatial channel models is truly a huge step towards the use of more realistic radio channel models in wireless testing," said Tommi Jamsa, Senior Manager, Standardization and Networking of EB's Wireless Communication Tools business. "This step is a trend setter for future channel modeling towards 4G standards and beyond." EB is actively involved in the development and definition of industry standards for wireless communications and utilizes this work for its customers by designing and implementing the conformance and beyond conformance testing requirements in its testing solutions. In the past years, EB has actively contributed spatial channel models to number of different standards such as ITU-R ITU-R ITU Radiocommunication Sector IMT-Advanced, 3GPP, IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. 802.16m and WiMAX Forum. EB has acted as a leader of a channel model work package in The European Wireless World Initiative New Radio (WINNER) project and as a chairman of channel model drafting group in ITU-R IMT IMT, n.pr See inspiratory muscle training. .EVAL. Recently, WINNER-based models were adopted by ITU (International Telecommunication Union, Geneva, Switzerland, www.itu.ch) A telecommunications standards body that is under the auspices of the United Nations. Comprising more than 185 member countries, the ITU sets standards for global telecom networks. , 3GPP and IEEE. The Spatial Channel Modeling Tool is available for both the EB Propsim C8 and EB Propsim F8 radio channel emulators and has already been delivered to several industry leaders. The EB Propsim radio channel emulators enable the creation of the real-world like wireless communication scenarios allowing for all the aspects of radio channel to be included to the emulation and therefore the testing is more realistic. The highest performance available in the market for channel emulation and 100 percent repeatability of test scenarios are the key features of EB Propsim products that guarantee realistic radio channel emulation for wireless communications applications.
