Creating an Executable Specification for the WiMAX Standard

Use Model-Based Design to build an executable specification for a WiMAX transmitter channel coder.

Description

"In January 2006, the WiMAX Forum announced the first products to complete the rigorous test procedures required for IEEE 802.16-2004-compliant certification. The IEEE 802.16 standard ensures compatibility and interoperability between broadband wireless access components. Nearly 900 pages long, it is a comprehensive document that describes both the physical layer and the media access control layer for WiMAX systems.

The scope and complexity of the standard creates challenges for designers of standard-compliant components. Model-Based Design with Simulink addresses these challenges by placing a system model at the center of the development process?from requirements capture to implementation and test. The model is an executable specification that functions as an interactive test harness throughout the design workflow....."
