Abstract
This article presents link level simulation results for the FDD component o f UMTS, based on the W-CDMA access technique. Simulation results are given for different service classes: 8 kb/s voice, 144 kb/s circuit-switched data (LDD), and 480 kb/s packet-switched data (UDD). The performance is given i n terms of bit error rate and block erasure rate. Results are provided as a function of the E-b/N-0 ratio and the mobile speed in lour different propa gation channels defined by ETSI and ITU-R.
