SimuLTE
LTE/LTE-A user-plane simulation model, compatible with the INET Framework.
Dependencies
The current master/head version requires either of
- OMNeT++ 5.5.1 and INET 3.6.6
Features
General
- eNodeB and UE models
- Full LTE protocol stack
PDCP-RRC
- Header compression/decompression
- Logical connection establishment and maintenance
RLC
- Multiplexing/Demultiplexing of MAC SDUs
- UM, (AM and TM testing) modes
MAC
- RLC PDUs buffering
- HARQ functionalities (with multi-codeword support)
- Allocation management
- AMC
- Scheduling Policies (MAX C/I, Proportional Fair, DRR)
PHY
- Heterogeneous Net (HetNets) support: Macro, micro, pico eNbs
- Channel Feedback management
- Dummy channel model
- Realistic channel model with
- inter-cell interference
- path-loss
- fast fading
- shadowing
- (an)isotropic antennas
Other
- X2 communication support
- X2-based handover
- Device-to-device communications
- Support for vehicular mobility
Applications
- Voice-over-IP (VoIP)
- Constant Bit Rate (CBR)
- Trace-based Video-on-demand traffic
Limitations
- User Plane only (Control Plane not modeled)
- FDD only (TDD not supported)
- 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)
