Abstract
The proposal of LTE in the standardization of cellular network systems has received considerable attention in the research domain,
and most subscribers widely use it. Despite the enormous acceptance of the system, academia as an industry is usually
disadvantaged in training students due to the cost implication in setting up a prototype. In bridging this gap, simulators are
traditionally developed as a testbed to aid students appreciate how these systems work. Although there are several simulators
available on the market, these simulators are quite expensive to acquire while others come with license restrictions. In this study,
a classical LTE cellular system simulator is proposed as a testbed to aid the education of computer networks at college. The
proposed simulator is an extension of the functionality of LTE-Sim frameworks. Usability testing of the proposed study reveals
that the system is much easier to simulate the various scenarios in wireless communication.
