Abstract

In this tutorial we present recipes for dynamic system-level simulations (SLSs) of 5G and beyond cellular radio systems. A key ingredient for such SLSs is selection of proper models to make sure that the performance determining effects are properly reflected to ensure output of realistic radio performance results. We therefore present a significant number of SLS models and related methodologies for a variety of use cases. Our focus is on generally accepted models that are largely supported by academia and industrial players and adopted by 3GPP as being realistic. Among others, we touch on deployment models, traffic models, non-terrestrial cellular networks with satellites, SLS methodologies for Machine Learning (ML) enabled air-interface solutions, and many more. We also present several recommendations for best practices related to preparing and running detailed SLS campaigns, and agile software engineering considerations. Throughout the article we use the 3GPP defined 5G and 5G-Advanced systems to illustrate our points, extending it also into the 6G-era that is predicted to build on alike SLS methodologies and best practices.
