摘要: Ιn this review article, a comprehensive study is provided regarding the latest achievements in simulation techniques and platforms for fifth generation (5G) wireless cellular networks. In context, calculation of set diverse performance metrics, such as achievable throughput uplink downlink, mean Bit Error Rate, number active users, outage probability, handover rate, delay, latency, etc., can be computationally demanding task due to various parameters that should incorporated system link level simulations. For example, potential solutions 5G interfaces include, among others, millimeter Wave (mmWave) transmission, massive multiple input output (MIMO) architectures non-orthogonal access (NOMA). Therefore, more accurate realistic representation channel coefficients overall interference required compared other interfaces. addition, increased highly directional beams will unavoidably lead signaling burden handovers. Moreover, until full transition networks takes place, coexistence with currently deployed fourth (4G) challenging issue radio network planning. Finally, exploitation infrastructures future electrical smart grids order support high bandwidth zero latency applications (e.g., semi or autonomous driving) dictates need development environments able incorporate aspects
