Open-Source Based Testbed for Multioperator 4G/5G Infrastructure Sharing in Virtual Environments
Table 2
Fixed parameters used in NS-3.
Options
Value
Functionality
Simulation time
2 sec
Duration of the simulation (i.e., simulation time).
Distance between UEs
1 meter
All UEs are geographically located in the same vertical plane. The distance between each UE is defined by this parameter. All eNBs are located 1 meter far in the vertical plane and all of them are equally spaced between themselves and also between UEs.
Interval leaving packet (ITL)
1, 10, and 100 ms
Every 1, 10, or 100 ms, a packet is sent from the UE to the UDP server located in the other virtual/physical computer.
Start time
0.1 sec
Traffic starts once the emulation is working. This is the time used for stabilizing the emulation (bootstrapping).
Increment time
0.01 sec
Gap between the starting times of each of the UEs.
