Description

FEUP
Network Simulation – LTE
Objectives of the Project
• To study the performance of LTE network scenarios using the ns-3 network simulator
• Carry out simple but rigorous studies
How to Define a LTE Communications Scenario
• Study the LTE cellular network
• Study the ns-model-library documentation
» Chapter: LTE Module
– Section: User Documentation
• Reuse available examples of LTE simulation scripts
» src/lte/examples/lena-simple.cc
» src/lte/examples/lena-simple-epc.cc
What to Study
• Define a few research questions (2-4 questions)
» Keep it very simple and focus on essential aspects
• For each research question
» Try to estimate theoretically the value you should obtain for a very simple and deterministic situation
» Carry out a set of simulations in order to obtain quantitative results which are relevant for answering the research question
» Provide your results using confidence intervals
• You are free to select your questions (related to LTE)
What to Deliver
• A report consisting in one page (A4, 11pt) per research question
• The simulation scripts
