Question on Timeline for Handover Support in 5G-LENA

[Bara Sabbah]

Dear 5G-LENA development team,

I’m currently working on my master’s thesis where handover functionality is essential.

Could you please indicate when handover functionality might realistically be available in 5G-LENA, even in an early or experimental version?

Thank you very much in advance for your support.

Best regards,
Bara Sabbah

Target is next release. In a month or two.

Hi, is the next release out that Gabriel mentioned, which will include the handover functionality?

Sincerely,

Surabhi Karandikar

[Gabriel Ferreira]

It is not. Should be done by the end of the month. 

I've created an issue tracking pending features needed for the release

Sounds good, thank you so much!

Hi Mr. Ferreira,
I just read your comment on the commit  "doc: Add a short passage on handover support and current limitations" , where you mention that “tests were performed with TDD.”
Does this mean that the handover functionality planned for the end of the month will only support TDD, or will FDD also be supported?

Thanks in advance,
Bara

It means exactly what is written: to that particular commit, it was tested with TDD, all flexible slots, with ideal RRC.
The plans for this release are on my previous response.
