Research Overview
NYUSIM is a cutting-edge open-source sub-THz and mmWave wireless channel simulator developed in MATLAB and ns-3, for free use by academic and industrial institutions worldwide.
With over 100,000 downloads of the previous versions of NYUSIM in MATLAB, since NYUSIM 1.0 in MATLAB was launched in 2016, NYUSIM 4.0 in MATLAB is tailored to expedite the standardization efforts of 6G wireless communications, scheduled to be completed by 2030. NYUSIM 4.0 in MATLAB provides an extensive set of features that facilitate wireless channel simulation in a variety of scenarios, such as urban microcell (UMi), urban macrocell (UMa), rural macrocell (RMa), indoor hotspot (InH), and indoor factory (InF) environments. With indoor and outdoor channel models for each scenario, the simulator can support carrier frequencies ranging from 0.5 to 150 GHz, with an RF bandwidth from 0 Hz (CW) to 1 GHz. Additionally, the inclusion of drop-based and spatial-consistency-based channel simulations for all five simulation scenarios further bolsters the simulator’s capabilities.
Our latest addition is the release of NYUSIM 1.0 in ns-3 which provides drop-based channel simulations in a variety of scenarios, such as urban microcell (UMi), urban macrocell (UMa), rural macrocell (RMa), indoor hotspot (InH), and indoor factory (InF) environments. NYUSIM 1.0 in ns-3 can support carrier frequencies ranging from 0.5 to 150 GHz, with an RF bandwidth from 0 Hz (CW) to 1 GHz.
