Milestones

Read 3GPP TR 38.300 as an overview. In general, we will look to align with 3GPP terminology and specifications.
Start to document somewhere (Google doc, or Sphinx) the lifecycle of these UDP packets-- what are the interesting things that happen to each packet to get it through the RAN?
Start to migrate LOG statements so that interesting logs are in NS_LOG_INFO and NS_LOG_WARN. See WifiHelper::EnableLogComponents()-- we should come up with a similar one for NrHelper::EnableLogComponents (level=INFO by default). Alternative is to place dedicated methods in the nr examples, tailored to logs of interest.
Enable traces: //nrHelper->EnableTraces(); perhaps controlled by a command line argument. How can these help the new user?
Line 453 of cttc-nr-demo.cc states: // From here, it is standard NS3. In the future, we will create helpers for this part as well. Start to create such helpers, focusing first on application and TFT configuration.
Start to experiment with the ConfigStore loading and saving of attributes and default values.
Measuring latency within the NR RAN-- new trace sources at ingress and egress of NetDevice? Packet tags?
