System-Level Evaluation of 5G NR UE-Based Relays

December 25, 2023
Author(s)
Samantha Gamboa Quintiliani, Aziza Ben Mosbah, Wesley Garey, Chunmei Liu, Richard A. Rouil
The notion of UE-based relays started with the introduction of Proximity Services (ProSe) and Device-to-Device (D2D) communication, and evolved with the adaptation of the Fifth Generation (5G) New Radio (NR) interface. While the main goal of relays is to

Modeling MCPTT and User Behavior in ns-3

September 9, 2021
Author(s)
Wesley Garey, Thomas Henderson, Yishen Sun, Richard A. Rouil, Samantha Gamboa Quintiliani
To support the advancement of public safety communications technology, the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has created several standards to define Mission Critical Push-To-Talk (MCPTT) over Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks. As this is a new

NetSimulyzer: A 3D Network Simulation Analyzer for ns-3

July 16, 2021
Author(s)
Evan Black, Samantha Gamboa Quintiliani, Richard A. Rouil
The increased complexity of network protocols and scenarios simulated using ns-3 is making the verification of simulation correctness and the analysis of simulation outputs a challenging task. In this paper, we present a new and flexible visualization tool

Study of 5G New Radio (NR) Support for Direct Mode Communications

May 7, 2021
Author(s)
Fernando Cintron, David W. Griffith, Chunmei Liu, Richard A. Rouil, Yishen Sun, Jian Wang, Peng Liu, Chen Shen, Aziza Ben Mosbah, Samantha Gamboa Quintiliani
In public safety communications, direct mode communication is essential to keep first responders connected, especially when there is no network coverage. Direct mode communication is supported in Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Long Term

UE-to-Network Relay Model B Discovery in ProSe-Enabled LTE Networks

April 6, 2021
Author(s)
Alexandre C. Moreaux, Samantha Gamboa Quintiliani, David W. Griffith, Richard A. Rouil
In this paper, we expand previous analytical models to offer a more complete representation of Model B ProSe direct discovery. Using these models, we can obtain performance metrics such as the average time a given Remote User Equipment (UE) takes to

Evaluation of Timers Related to ProSe-based UE-to-Network Relays

March 24, 2021
Author(s)
Aziza Ben Mosbah, Samantha Gamboa Quintiliani, Richard A. Rouil
User Equipment (UE)-to-Network Relay functionality was introduced in Release 13 of the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Long Term Evolution (LTE) to extend and improve user connectivity using the sidelink (SL) channels. The UE-to-Network Relay

UE-to-Network Relay Discovery in ProSe-enabled LTE Networks

March 30, 2020
Author(s)
Samantha M. Gamboa Quintiliani, Alexandre C. Moreaux, David W. Griffith, Richard A. Rouil
The UE-to-Network Relay functionality was introduced to Long Term Evolution (LTE) cellular networks in Release 13. In this technology, User Equipment (UEs) acting as Relay UEs are used to extend network coverage to cell-edge and out-of-coverage Remote UEs

System Level Evaluation of UE-to-Network Relays in D2D-enabled LTE Networks

September 13, 2019
Author(s)
Samantha M. Gamboa Quintiliani, Raghav Thanigaivel, Richard A. Rouil
The 3rd Generation Partnership Program (3GPP) introduced UE-to-Network Relays in Long Term Evolution (LTE) Release 13. This technology leverages Proximity Services (ProSe), i.e., the LTE Device-to-device (D2D) communication functionality, to provide user

Adaptive synchronization reference selection for out-of-coverage Proximity Services (ProSe)

October 8, 2017
Author(s)
Samantha M. Gamboa Quintiliani, Fernando J. Cintron, David W. Griffith, Richard A. Rouil
Proximity services (ProSe) is a Long Term Evolution Advanced (LTE-A) feature that allows User Equipments (UEs) to communicate without the need of routing the data throughout the network. In this paper, we studied the synchronization protocol used by ProSe

Implementation and Validation of an LTE D2D Model for ns-3

June 13, 2017
Author(s)
Richard A. Rouil, Fernando J. Cintron, Aziza Ben Mosbah, Samantha M. Gamboa Quintiliani
The ability to perform device-to-device (D2D) communication in Long Term Evolution (LTE)-based cellular networks became possible with the introduction of Proximity Services (ProSe) functionalities in the 3rd Generation Partnership Program (3GPP)

Impact of timing on the Proximity Services (ProSe) synchronization function
