ILteCompManager

module interface

The LteCompManager interface defines the structure for the CoMP Manager. It extends the X2User interface and provides the necessary parameters and configurations for managing Coordinated Multi-Point (CoMP) communications in LTE networks.

@neddoc The LteCompManager module interface provides a blueprint for implementing the CoMP (Coordinated Multi-Point) manager functionality in the LTE network stack. It extends the X2User interface, inheriting its capabilities and providing additional hooks for managing CoMP-specific operations. The interface comes with a built-in display icon for visual representation in network simulations.

Inheritance diagram

The following diagram shows inheritance relationships for this type. Unresolved types are missing from the diagram.

Implemented by

Name	Type	Description
LteCompManagerBase	simple module	ALTERNATIVE:
LteCompManagerProportional	simple module	This module implements a simple CoMP (Coordinated Multi-Point) coordinated scheduling algorithm. A CompManager module within an eNodeB can be either a master or a slave. Slave nodes send the master node the number of RBs required to satisfy their users' load. The master node partitions the bandwidth based on these requests and sends back an indication of which RBs are available for transmission and which are not.

Used in compound modules

Name	Type	Description
LteNicEnb	compound module	The LteNicEnb module is a network interface that provides LTE connectivity within an eNodeB. It implements the data and signaling planes of the LTE stack, which includes the PDCP, RLC, MAC, and PHY layers. The parameters and submodules allow customization of the eNodeB's behavior, including whether it supports D2D communication, CoMP (Coordinated MultiPoint), or dual connectivity.

Extends

Name	Type	Description
IX2User	module interface	This module interface provides the fundamental structure for submodules of the LTE/NR protocol stack that need to interact with the LteX2Manager to utilize X2 communication to accomplish their tasks, such as handover, dual connectivity, and Coordinated Multi-Point.
