Jul 08 2025 5G-LENA v4.1 is available

5G-LENA v4.1 (compatible with ns-3.45)

Hi all,

We are happy to announce the v4.1 release of 5G-LENA. This release is compatible with ns-3.45.

This release includes some features, such as: - Resource assignment matrix (currently used to ensure there are no overlapping allocated resources): - Wraparound model and support for hexagonal deployments, which allows for higher interference without requiring the simulation of additional rings, which can drastically speed up simulations; - FastFadingConstantPositionMobilityModel, a static mobility model with non-zero velocity to exercise channel fading code; - Indoor and Outdoor calibration examples were updated to reflect RP-180524; - Add new random TDMA and OFDMA schedulers, to maximize the chance of interference between network nodes (used for testing); - Add CI jobs to test nr on MacOS, and to perform periodic regression testing with outdoor calibration;

This release includes important fixes, such as: - Schedulers now have memory, maintaining their fairness over time; - Downlink HARQ is now transmitted in scenarios where there are more active transmissions than symbols.

We would like to thank all 5G-LENA users who contribute continuously to the 5G-LENA community by opening issues, proposing solutions, and answering on 5G-LENA users list.

Thank you for your support!
