Dynamic system simulator for the modeling of CDMA systems

As wireless systems progressed from first generation to second generation, and now 3G systems, system design tools have progressively become more sophisticated. Static system simulators have found widespread use in CDMA system design. In this article it is argued that static simulators are inadequate to capture the details of 3G systems, and study the performance of complex algorithms, and the case is made for dynamic system simulators. A detailed description of the structure of a wireless system simulator is given, with emphasis on a dynamic simulator. Some advantages of dynamic vs. static simulators are discussed.
