Project Overview

  • Project Name: 5G NR Module Benchmark and Analysis for Distinct Channel Models
  • Student: Joao Albuquerque
  • Mentors: Biljana Bojovic, Amir Ashtari, Gabriel Ferreira
  • Google page: GSoC - Project
  • Project Goals: Currently, ns-3 and the NR module provide an interface for using a channel model (3GPP). However, two other models have also been developed using the ns-3 environment: Two-ray and NYUSim. The project aims to integrate these two new models into NR module in a simplified and user-friendly manner. Furthermore, I will undertake additional tasks, such as testing the implemented code and creating an example that utilizes these implemented models.
  • Repository: ns-3, NR
  • About Me: I am an undergraduate student working at LASSE-UFPA, a telecommunications research laboratory, where I have been engaged in various projects using the ns-3 and nr. I have over a year and four months of experience working with ns-3 and the nr module, during which I developed applications, including a new ray-tracing module compatible with NR and the latest versions of ns-3. With this opportunity, I aim to make significant and definitive contributions to ns-3 and the NR module.

Milestones

You can track the project's plan by referring to this document: GSoC — Document Plan. The document will be constantly updated until the final submission.

Milestones for this project include updating the existing channel models in the ns-3, implementing a user-friendly interface via the nr module, creating an example that utilizes all the added channel models within ns-3, and developing a test code to validate the new models' implementation and related factors. The outline of these implementations will be separated into work packages (WPs) as follows:
