ns-3 is a community-driven project, and as such, we cannot typically make guarantees about the availability of new or improved code; our maintainers work largely on a best-effort basis. However, we use this page to describe our goals (time-permitting) for each release, and where we broadly are trying to steer the project for the future.

ns-3.44 plans

The most up-to-date listing of items being worked on in this release cycle can be seen by browsing Merge requests and Issues in the GitLab.com tracker that are tagged with the 'Milestone ns-3.44' tag.

Besides this, the following ns-3 maintainers announced plans to work on the following topics:

• Stefano Avallone plans to finally finalize the EMLSR support and possibly to introduce the (legacy) PowerSave mode support.

• Sebastien Deronne plans to work on Wi-Fi module extensions for GCR (UR & BA), improved support for P2P/adhoc, and 802.11be extensions (CCA, RAAs, 320 MHz BW, …)

• Alberto Gallegos is working on merging a new Zigbee model, improving documentation of the lr-wpan and energy modules, revise TraceSources of the lr-wpan module, and convert many constants specified in the IEEE 802.15.4 standard into changeable Attributes.

• Tom Henderson is prioritizing
  • Merging Muyuan Shen's Wi-Fi Mac TX stats helper
  • Merging IIIT-D's Wi-Fi channel occupancy helper
  • Supporting wifi transition to strongly typed units
  • Working with Nihar Kapasi to fix Wi-Fi [https://gitlab.com/nsnam/ns-3-dev/-/issues/1138 MinstrelHt issues
