HOW TO IMPORT SimuLTE PACKAGES IN OMNET++

To import SIMULTE Packages in Omnet++ we have explained in details the needed steps to be carried out.  The SimuLTE Framework is a simulation tool created for OMNeT++ that helps in modeling and assessing the performance of Long-Term Evolution (LTE) networks. It offers a comprehensive and precise depiction of the LTE protocol stack, which consists of the physical, MAC, RLC, PDCP, RRC, and NAS layers. With SimuLTE, researchers can simulate how LTE networks operate, including user equipment (UE), eNodeBs (the base stations), and the core network. Some important features of SimuLTE are its ability to support both uplink and downlink communication, different scheduling algorithms, mobility models, and quality of service (QoS) mechanisms. It also allows for the examination of handover processes, resource allocation, and interference management within LTE networks. If you require any research assistance in this filed you can contact omnet-manual.com.

Steps that are required for the installation of SimuLTE Framework.

PRE-REQUISITES:

  1. Fresh installation of Windows 10:

Here We successfully built and imported the INET Framework in the OMNET++ IDE. 

6.SimuLTE Building Process:

Next, we need to build the “lte” and “com.simulte.configeditor” folder to make SimuLTE Framework to work in the OMNET++ 5.6.2 IDE. Right Click the “lte” and “com.simulte.configeditor” folder and Click the Build Project Option to build the SimuLTE Framework.

Note: In case, If Got Some Error Related to Inet or Project Reference, then Right Click the both SimuLTE Related folder and click Project Reference in Properties and check the inet Folder.

7.Executing the Example SimuLTE Framework Program:

Then we need to run the Example SIMULTE Framework program to view output of the program. Firstly, we need to locate to the “/lte/simulations/tutorial” to find the example program in the lte Folder.
