PyWiCh : Python Wireless Channel Simulator

Belzarena, Pablo

Resumen:

This work presents PyWiCh, an open source wireless channel simulator which can be used both as a stand-alone software through its graphical interface or integrated into other applications. Wireless channel simulators are an essential tool for the research and development of next-generation networks based on massive MIMO and millimeter waves. PyWiCh is the first simulator developed in Python that implements the 3GPP simulation model for 5G networks. PyWiCh also proposes solutions to two current research problems in wireless channel simulation: spatial consistency and scatters movement. Through its use, adoption, and enhancement, this project intends to build a community that continues work and research on this topic so as to improve the simulator and develop new features and new models which can be integrated into PyWiCh.
