System Level simulation for 5G Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communication

Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communication (URLLC) as one of the three fifth-generation (5G) typical application scenarios in the future, which requires extreme reliability and low latency. The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) expects the transmission of 32-byte packets with the user plane latency of less than 1 ms and 99.999% reliability. With the aim to evaluate the performance of 5G URLLC network, performing system level simulations is a crucial and effective method. In this paper, we modify and expand the Vienna 5G System Level Simulator to support the 5G URLLC scenario, and finally study the impact of three different scheduling algorithms on throughput, Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR), latency and reliability of URLLC network.
