Simulation of 5G mmwave with flowmonitor

[Juan HM]

Hi everyone,

I am having some trouble while trying to simulate a end to end 5G mmwave scenario.

I am setting 1 UE (McUeDevice), 1 gNodeb (mmwave enbDevice), and 1 eNodeb (mmwave lteEnbDevice). I have added the X2interface between the lteEnbDevice and the mmwave enbDevice, and also installed the SGW/PGW with the epc helper.

The issue I am getting, is that while adding the flowmonitor I am receiving the monitor->getFlowsStats() with 0 size. 

Do you know what could be the reason for this?

Do you have any TCP or UDP applications ?

FlowMonitor only tracks TCP and UDP flows, so you won't see anything beside these.

Hi Tommaso, thanks for your message.

Yes, I do have UDP application installing:UDP server helper and UDP trace client helper.

For this, I have also installed a clientapps for remotehost (since I am simulating UL) and server app with UE.

I remember something about LTE model stripping packet tags - which could be the reason to have FlowMonitor not working.

I should investigate, but it would require time. As a workaround, I'd suggest to use the data from SeqTsHeader (search for it in the UdpServer app).

Hi Tommaso, regarding tags, I have commented all lines regarding p->RemovePacketTag(tag) as per another group, but the errors persisted.

Also, do you have any example I can take as guide? I am seeing this in the udp-server.cc but not sure how to implement it in my code.

Read the tutorial and the manual, the answer is there (look for how to activate the logs).
