- 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 5.2)

- ETSI-compliant model of Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) systems



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)
