RadioScape's Latest Version of RadioLab Offers New Compressed Mode Functionality for 3G Wireless System Designers.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 25, 2002 New Benefits Allow Valuable Reengineering Time Savings and Cost Reductions RadioScape, a leading developer of licensable software and hardware technology for digital wireless baseband communications systems, announced today the availability of its RadioLab 3G 2.1 system-level design toolset. RadioLab 3G 2.1 offers third-generation (3G) UMTS/W-CDMA wireless systems designers new functionality to support simulation of compressed mode, which is critical for seamless call-handovers between W-CDMA See WCDMA. networks and GSM. RadioLab 3G 2.1 now supports the compressed mode feature-set, offering design-time exploration of one of the more challenging parts of the W-CDMA standard. It allows designers to test algorithms in a behavioral environment, which minimizes the chances of reworking hardware late in the development cycle. RadioLab 3G 2.1 supports all three aspects of compressed mode including spreading factor spreading factor said of biological fluids, used in pharmaceutical preparations. See hyaluronidase. reduction, puncturing and higher-layer scheduling. With RadioLab 3G 2.1, designers can more efficiently develop W-CDMA/UMTS projects for next generation handsets and basestations in three easy steps: create, validate and migrate. These steps enable designers to test and validate their designs in software before converting to hardware, saving them valuable time and money. In addition, RadioLab 3G 2.1 is built on The MathWorks MATLAB (MATrix LABoratory) A programming language for technical computing from The MathWorks, Natick, MA (www.mathworks.com). Used for a wide variety of scientific and engineering calculations, especially for automatic control and signal processing, MATLAB runs on Windows, Mac and (TM) and Simulink(TM) software, two of the most widely used system-level design and modeling environments, allowing for easy development integration. "RadioLab is an ideal development tool for helping designers work through all the complexities associated with creating 3G basestations and handsets," said Paul Bruce, RadioScape's RadioLab 3G product manager. "With the latest release of RadioLab, we reinforce our commitment as a vital solutions partner for wireless developers creating 3G wireless communications wireless communications System using radio-frequency, infrared, microwave, or other types of electromagnetic or acoustic waves in place of wires, cables, or fibre optics to transmit signals or data. products." RadioScape is demonstrating RadioLab 3G 2.1 at the Communications Design Conference in San Jose, Calif., from September 24-26, at booth number 926. Existing customers who have purchased RadioLab 3G 2.0 will receive an upgrade at no extra charge. RadioLab 3G 2.1 adds support for Windows XP The previous client version of Windows. XP was a major upgrade to the client version of Windows 2000 with numerous changes to the user interface. XP improved support for gaming, digital photography, instant messaging, wireless networking and sharing connections to the Internet. and is compatible with MATLAB version 13. The product is available immediately. About RadioScape RadioScape(R) Ltd. is the premier provider of software and hardware technology aimed at accelerating the development of digital wireless communications systems. RadioScape's core product, the Communication Virtual Machine(TM) (CVM(R)) enables semiconductor companies and protocol stack The set of protocols used in a communications network. A protocol stack is a prescribed hierarchy of software layers, starting from the application layer at the top (the source of the data being sent) to the data link layer at the bottom (transmitting the bits on the wire). developers to rapidly develop and deploy multi-vendor, complex, real-time DSP (1) (Digital Signal Processor) A special-purpose CPU used for digital signal processing applications (see definition #2 below). It provides ultra-fast instruction sequences, such as shift and add, and multiply and add, which are commonly used in math-intensive applications in a hardware-neutral fashion, reducing time-to-market and development costs. RadioScape simplifies the creation of wireless receivers and transmission infrastructure for digital radio, and partners with Texas Instruments to create digital radio chips for consumer products.
