With the rise in the number of subscribers and to enhance the user experience, Long Term Evolution Advanced (LTE-A) has introduced Coordinated Multipoint (CoMP), a technology which aims to improve the user experience on the cell edge. Although CoMP improves the user experience on the cell edge, it imposes lots of overhead on the network which may result in the degradation of Quality of Service (QoS). To be able to test technologies like CoMP before deploying them on the live network, Modeling and Simulation (M&S) software are required. Through M&S, researchers can test their proposed ideas with minimal costs. Discrete Event System Specification (DEVS) is a formal platform intended for M&S of discrete time systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
