LTE EPC support in NS3

[Joe Stalin]

Hello,

Does NS3 supports to simulate automatic X2 handover in LTE? and also does NS3 supports Layer3 (RRC) traces for MME and SGW in LTE?

Thanks,
Joe

Hi Joe,

Yes, NS-3 supports automatic X2 Handover. It is explained in the documentation here

http://www.nsnam.org/docs/models/html/lte-user.html#x2-based-handover

http://www.nsnam.org/docs/models/html/lte-design.html#handover

For RRC traces I do not think that there are for MME and SGW since RRC is only on eNB/UE.
