Detailed Description

Create an EPC network using EmuFdNetDevice.

Introspection did not find any typical Config paths.

This Helper will create an EPC network topology comprising of a single node that implements both the SGW and PGW functionality, and an MME node. The S1-U, X2-U and X2-C interfaces are realized using EmuFdNetDevice; in particular, one device is used to send all the traffic related to these interfaces.

Notify the EPC of the existance of a new UE which might attach at a later time.

Parameters

imsithe unique identifier of the UE

Parameters
ueDevicesthe set of UE devices

+ Here is the call graph for this function:

void ns3::EmuEpcHelper::DoDispose ( void  )
virtual

Destructor implementation.

This method is called by Dispose() or by the Object's destructor, whichever comes first.

Subclasses are expected to implement their real destruction code in an overriden version of this method and chain up to their parent's implementation once they are done. i.e, for simplicity, the destructor of every subclass should be empty and its content should be moved to the associated DoDispose() method.

It is safe to call GetObject() from within this method.

Reimplemented from ns3::EpcHelper.

Ptr< Node > ns3::EmuEpcHelper::GetPgwNode ( )
virtual
Returns
a pointer to the node implementing PGW functionality. Note that in this particular implementation this node will also hold the SGW functionality. The primary use intended for this method is to allow the user to configure the Gi interface of the PGW, i.e., to connect the PGW to the internet.
