Cover Story: Accurate performance evaluation and radio network planning for 5G systems can be quite challenging and computationally demanding, since a considerable number of novel technologies have been introduced (massive MIMO, mmWave transmission, NOMA). Due to the large number of associated parameters, there are no analytical solutions for such complex wireless cellular orientations. Hence, parameter estimation can be performed only numerically, via Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. The goal of this review article is to provide all the latest achievements on simulation platforms and techniques for 5G interfaces. In this context, the main contributions of each simulation approach are highlighted, along with potential limitations.View this paper.
