Easy5G: Software for Simulation and Study of 5G NR Interface

The new 5G mobile internet standard, expected to arrive in mid-2022, promises greater connection capacity for billions of devices and a balanced experience between speed, latency, and low power consumption. To achieve high error correction power, the 3GPP used a class of encoder known as low-density parity-check code (LDPC). In this sense, this work presents the development of a software, named Easy5G, that allows simulation and evaluation of the 5G New Radio (NR) scenarios and channel coding schemes planned for 5G NR, using LDPC codes. Easy5G, through the GNU Radio platform, allows parameter changes and simulations of bit error rate (BER) results. This software allows the creation of direct contact between this new technology, academia, and industry.
