Methodology for Analyzing the Performance of 5G-NR Networks During Initial Planning Without Deployment Using the NS-3 Network Simulator

The primary goal of this research is to improve the performance of fifth-generation (5G) wireless networks. This study will examine existing algorithms for creating and implementing 5G infrastructure, as well as conducting simulation experiments using current network configurations. Through these trials, we will gain insights into the parameters of 5G systems and assess the effectiveness of these networks at the initial stage of planning, before actual deployment. This process will significantly enhance the efficiency of communication network planning, especially in industrial Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Furthermore, by optimizing 5G networks for industrial use cases, this research aims to unlock transformative capabilities, such as real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and seamless integration of machinery and devices, thereby fostering Industry 4.0 initiatives and enhancing productivity and competitiveness in industrial settings.
