Project overview

• Project name: Merging and Improvement of LTE and Wi-Fi Coexistence Module

• Student: Muhammad Iqbal CR

• Mentor: Tom Henderson

• Abstract: The LTE and Wi-Fi Coexistence Module which implements 3GPP specification of License Assisted Access (LAA) and the interfacing of LTE and Wi-Fi module in ns-3, has been quite popular with ns-3 users. Works has been done to implement the LTE and Wi-Fi Coexistence Module. But currently it is far removed from the mainline development and missing improvements that has been implemented on the upstream. It is hard to apply patch from it, and inversely, merge the module to it. Moreover, it is also created to implement TR 36.889 test scenarios, making it difficult to customize for other cases. Furthermore, more improvement ideas can be implemented to streamline and improve readability of the simulation scenario. Some key features missing from the unit test (e.g., LAA backoff), will also be implemented. The goal will be successfully merging the existing works to ns-3-dev, improving the flexibility of scenario deployment, and improving usability in terms of getting more useful data out of the simulations.

• About me: I am an admitted student of the Computer Science Departement of University of Chicago starting next September. Previously, I did my Master Studies at the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology (NTUST), Taiwan. Since my current research focus is on the LTE and Wi-Fi Coexistence, I have taken a large interest in improving the module. I have been working with Tom Henderson for quite some time to merge the module to the upstream, and doing it under GSoC wil hopefully accelerate the progress.
