Studying and Simulation of a NS3 frameworktowards a 5G Complete Network Platform

In this paper, we present a novel NS3-based frameworkto simulate a complete 5G network architecture, including core, fronthaul andLTE access(i.e., Non-Standalone, 3GPP Release 15) radio access segments. Starting from the 5G Transformer model, we describe and simulate each single element of the three main functional plains. Some preliminary results are presented for a proposed algorithm for the QoS service orchestration controller.
