Calibration of the 5G-LENA system level simulator in 3GPP reference scenarios

Due to the rapid technology evolution and standardization activity in the mobile communication networks, there is the need for the research community to be able to develop, test and evaluate new and/or already existing solutions before industrial or real-network implementation. As such, it is essent...
