Core contributors

Dependencies

This version requires:

  • OMNeT++ 6.0pre10 or OMNeT++ 6.0pre11
  • INET 4.3.2

Simu5G Features

General

  • eNodeB, gNodeB and UE models
  • Full LTE and NR protocol stack
  • Simple PGW/UPF model implementing GTP protocol

PDCP-RRC

  • Header compression/decompression
  • Logical connection establishment and maintenance
  • E-UTRA/NR Dual connectivity
  • Split Bearer

RLC

  • Multiplexing/Demultiplexing of MAC SDUs
  • UM, (AM and TM testing) modes

MAC

  • HARQ functionalities
  • Allocation management
  • AMC
  • Scheduling Policies (MAX C/I, Proportional Fair, DRR)
  • Carrier Aggregation
  • Support to multiple numerologies
  • Flexible TDD/FDD

PHY

  • Channel Feedback management
  • Realistic 3GPP channel model with
    • inter-cell interference
    • path-loss
    • fast fading
    • shadowing
    • (an)isotropic antennas

Advanced features

  • X2 communication support
  • X2-based handover
  • CoMP Coordinated Scheduling support
  • Device-to-device communications
  • Support for vehicular mobility (integration with Veins 5.1)
  • ETSI-compliant model of Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) Hosts

Applications

  • Voice-over-IP (VoIP)
  • Constant Bit Rate (CBR)
  • Trace-based Video-on-demand (VoD)

Real-time emulation support

Simu5G supports real-time network emulation capabilities. Navigate to one of the examples included in the "emulation" folder and take a look at the README file included therein.

Limitations

  • User Plane only (Control Plane not modeled)
  • no EPS bearer support – note: a similar concept, "connections", has been implemented, but they are neither dynamic nor statically configurable via some config file
  • radio bearers not implemented, not even statically configured radio bearers (dynamically allocating bearers would need the RRC protocol, which is Control Plane so not implemented)
