Inheritance diagram

Extends

Name Type Description
LteUe compound module

Models a User Equipment (UE) in a 4G LTE network. It is a host equipped with an LTE Network Interface Card (NIC), allowing the UE to connect to an eNodeB module via the Radio Access Network (RAN) of the LTE network and communicate with any other host in the system. The UE is an INET StandardHost with the cellular NIC as an additional network interface of its link layer, so it has all the higher layers of the protocol stack, from the link layer to the application modules, and the configuration options of StandardHost (numApps, hasUdp, hasTcp, hasIpv4, hasIpv6, numEthInterfaces, etc.). Its Ethernet interfaces (eth[]) are utilized in real-time emulation mode to connect the UE to the real network (outside the simulator) via a virtual Ethernet interface.
