An LTE module for the ns-3 network simulator
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present a novel module developed for the simulation of the LTE technology with the ns-3 simulator. It focuses mainly on modeling the E-UTRA part of the system, with a particular attention on the aspects related to the channel, PHY and MAC layers. First we discuss the overall modeling assumptions according to which the module was designed. Subsequently, we describe in detail the architecture of the module and its components. Finally, we show possible research applications by discussing some example simulation scenarios.

متن کاملSimulating LTE and Wi-Fi Coexistence in Unlicensed Spectrum with ns-3
The use of unlicensed spectrum for future LTE systems raises concerns about its impact on co-located Wi-Fi networks. As specifications are being developed, simulation has been widely employed for assessing the performance of coexistence mechanisms for LTE on unlicensed bands. We report herein on extensions to a popular network simulator, known as ns-3, to model such coexistence. To our knowledg...
