5G Network Modeling Workshop

Overview

The 5G Network Modeling Workshop provides hands-on exercises to help you learn the end-to-end 5G network modeling workflow in MATLAB.

What You Will Learn

With minimal coding effort, you will be able to:

• Create a 5G network scenario
• Configure 5G network nodes
• Add mobility and traffic models
• Specify the 3GPP TR 38.901 Channel models
• Run simulations of the 5G scenario
• Visualize network behavior
• Evaluate key performance metrics

Key Highlights

• Guided, step-by-step exercises
• Minimal coding effort required
• Focus on practical, real-world scenarios

Target Audience

This content is intended for:

• 5G system engineers
• PHY/MAC engineers working with or exploring system-level 5G wireless network simulations in MATLAB
• Scientists and engineers involved in 5G standards development

Repository Overview

This repository contains the files required to run the hands-on 5G Network Modeling Workshop in MATLAB®.

• Exercise files require you to add code to complete the tasks
• Solution scripts include the completed code and run end-to-end

Exercises Included

The repository includes the following exercises:

1. Exercise 1 – Operate the simulation engine, configure 5G nodes, create a simple network, and view performance statistics
2. Exercise 2 – 5G inter-cell interference modeling
3. Exercise 3 – Integrate a custom downlink channel into the simulated 5G network
4. Exercise 4 – Model MU-MIMO and Integrate a custom scheduler into the 5G network model

Setup

For Hands-On Workshop

1. Use the Exercise files and complete the required code additions.
