AIMM-simulator 2.0.0

AIMM 5G system-level simulator (development for the AIMM project https://aimm.celticnext.eu)

AIMM 5G system simulator

The AIMM simulator emulates a cellular radio system roughly following 5G concepts and channel models. The intention is to have an easy-to-use and fast system written in pure Python with minimal dependencies. It is especially designed to be suitable for interfacing to AI engines such as tensorflow or pytorch, and it is not a principal aim for it to be extremely accurate at the level of the radio channel. The simulator was developed for the AIMM project (https://aimm.celticnext.eu) by Keith Briggs (https://keithbriggs.info).

Software dependencies

1. Python 3.8 or higher https://python.org.
2. NumPy https://numpy.org/.
3. Simpy https://pypi.org/project/simpy/.
4. If real-time plotting is needed, matplotlib https://matplotlib.org.

Installation

Downloading the wheel (typically dist/aimm_simulator-2.0.0-py3-none-any.whl) and running pip install <wheel> should be all that is needed. This will install the dependencies listed above, if needed.

After the install, test it with python3 examples/basic_test.py.

See the full html documentation for further details.
