NIST has released a simulation model to evaluate Proximity Services (ProSe) in 5G New Radio (NR) networks. NR ProSe leverages the NR Sidelink to enable direct communication between user devices and extend network coverage. The model implementation is based on the open-source ns-3 simulator and currently supports the following features:

  • NR ProSe Direct discovery
  • NR ProSe Direct communication
  • NR ProSe One-hop Layer-3 UE-to-Network Relay
