The latest version (1.4) of NYUSIM, the open source 5G channel model simulator software, is now available to download from NYU WIRELESS. Changes to NYUSIM include:

• More operation steps were added on the top part of the simulator GUI to better instruct users.
• Detailed explanations of the half-power beamwidth (HPBW) and gain of the antenna array, and examples of how to create an antenna pattern given the HPBW and gain, were added in Section 2.1.1 of this user manual.
• The .mat format of the output data files was provided in the simulator, in addition to the existing .txt files. Descriptions of the newly added files were provided in Section 2.2.2 of this user manual. A new option was added on the GUI that allows users to select the output file type (text file, MAT file, or both).
• A new set of output data file named “BasicParameters” was added with both .txt and .mat formats available, which contains all the input parameter values as shown on the GUI when running the simulation and some relevant output parameters, as detailed in Section 2.2.2.
• An example of the applications of the output data files was demonstrated in Section 2.2.3, namely, calculating the condition number and rank of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) channel matrices.
