Researching LTE Network Radio Resource Management and Mobility Management Using ns-3

After learning about ns-3 supporting LTE architecture and features in Chapter 7, in this chapter, we focus on learning how to simulate LTE mobile network use cases such as spectrum and radio resource allocation to UEs, ensuring QoS of UE traffic flows, and seamless handovers during UEs’ mobility. In order to set up these use cases, we mainly discuss how to configure and evaluate ns-3 supporting LTE radio resource scheduling and handover algorithms.

In the first section of the chapter, we introduce how the ns-3 LTE module is modeling the operating spectrum in terms of frames, and Resource Blocks (RBs). Then, we discuss the basic working of any ns-3-supporting ...
