HandoverX2Forwarder¶

Package: simu5g.stack.handoverX2Forwarder

simple module HandoverX2Forwarder

Forwards the downlink a handover source holds for a UE leg to the target base station over X2-U, and delivers what arrives from a source to this node’s HandoverPacketHolderEnb: the data forwarding of the handover, between the source’s and the target’s packet holders, through the LteX2Manager. The handover’s signaling is the base stations’ control plane’s (ConnectionControlEnb).

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.

Parameters¶
