5G K-Simulator and TestBench Demonstration Proposal

Abstract

The fifth-generation (5G) communication systems are expected to be an important connecting infrastructure for information and knowledge exchanges among people, machines, sensors, devices, and even environments. The technical specifications for 5G communication systems are being made to satisfy performance requirements that are defined in ITU-R documents. In addition, the key performance indicators in 5G communication systems include peak and average data rate, mobility, energy efficiency, spectral efficiency, latency, connection density, and so on. These performance metrics need to be evaluated by simulators at different levels. Therefore, simulators play an important role in evaluating the performance of 5G communication systems as well as an individual technique. Most research institutes, universities, and industries have their own simulators, but with different levels of assumption and implementation depth according to technical needs of individual organization, which makes a fair comparison impossible.
