Abstract:
The advances accomplished in the modern wireless network design are requiring increasingly more efficient high-performing antenna devices in order to satisfy the requirements provided for the 5G next generation systems; although a considerable number of theoretical proposals already exist in this field the most common used network simulators do not offer a support for the latest wireless network standards such as the IEEE802.11ac and, at the same time, they do not afford the possibility to utilise the latest up-to-date high performance massive MIMO (Multiple Inputs Multiple Output) antenna systems. In view of this, we propose to extend the basic feature offered by the Omnet++ network simulator with the aim of actualizing the current simulation instruments for enabling the emulation of 5G wireless network scenarios.
