Hi all,
Is anyone out there working on Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) module development for NS3?
I am a PhD student and looking to make contribution in case someone is already developing the module (to save time and effort at my end).
I have been told by the someone at CTTC that currently there are people at University of Pisa working in this field. I was wondering if I can get in contact with them through this group.
Thank you in advance for any information you might provide. I apologize if I am posting in the wrong place, if so please let me know where I should post this inquiry.

Best ​Regard​s,
Zubair

Hi Zubair,

I don't know about Pisa, but few (in Florence) are working on it.
We'll do a page on ns-3 wiki soon. In the meantime you can safely write me or Samuele about it.

Cheers,

T.

Hello,

Do any of you know about the progress of work on NBIoT support in NS3? When it is expected to complete? Actually I did some work on NBIoT in the past and I am keen to explore it in NS3 in future as well. Also if the work is still in progress, I would appreciate if I can also collaborate to some extent in enabling its support in LENA. 

Thanks

Hello,

I have now started working on NB-IoT. The Git repository has already done much progress. However, I want to know the features of NB-IoT enables in this, I am interested especially on PSM and e-DRX?

Thanks,

Any contribution is always welcome.

Hi,

Yes, we at Belgium are working on NB-IoT module. We are implementing PSM, DRX features and couple of others. But right now the code needs to be merged (which will definitely take some time).

Regards,
Ashish

Hi Ashish,

I am working on NB-IOT for an internal project and would like to know which version of NS-3 currently has the latest code for the same.

Hello Ashish Amar,

You can start working from https://github.com/TommyPec/ns-3-dev-NB-IOT. I still have to make my code public which I will do by enabling a few more features I am working on (eDRX, DONAS).

Thanks,
Ashish

Hi Ashish,

I am using the this link : https://github.com/TommyPec/ns-3-dev-NB-IOT for my NB-IoT project.

I want to execute/demo NB-IoT feature with this branch with help of lena-simple-epc.cc file.
Can we demonstrate NB-IoT feature with using this link provided by you?

If, Yes then please guide me how to enable NB-IoT feature in code.

Welcome to ns-3 users. I guess that some people might be able to help
you. I hoz the impression, that your question is rather generic. I
think, its a good way to get familar with existing IoT MACs (e.g.
802.15.4) that exist in mainline ns-3.

For instance:
https://www.nsnam.org/doxygen/group__lr-wpan.html#details
https://gitlab.com/nsnam/ns-3-dev/tree/master/src/lr-wpan

Hi, 

Is there any update on the project? 
From the GitHub page, i derive that the development is still on hold. Is there anyone working aside on the project ?

Thanks

Hi,

I am also working on NB-IoT as a PhD student. I have come across a paper that directed me to a github link for the NB-IoT development. Still trying to figure it out anyways.

Thanks

Hi Ashish,

First of all, thanks for your contribution. I would like to have some information about the state of the developments.
Are your developments finished ? If yes, do you know if they will be merged in the original repository https://github.com/TommyPec/ns-3-dev-NB-IOT

BR,
David

Hi David,

Yes, the development from our side is finished. You can check our code. I think we don't have resource right now to merge the code.
