This document discusses the design and implementation of a 4G network scenario using the QualNet network simulator. The authors created a virtual 4G network model in QualNet comprising of nodes such as routers, access points, and mobile phones connected by links like LAN segments and LTE connections. They simulated the behavior of the network under different operating scenarios and traffic patterns. The results of simulating Constant Bit Rate traffic showed a total of 12.5 MB of data sent, 24 packets transmitted, and a throughput of 4.4 Mbps. The authors concluded that QualNet is useful for network design, protocol research, and analysis of wireless applications but has some disadvantages like difficulty of installation on Linux. They proposed future work involving designing new protocol

Abstract - Day by day wireless network communication is
becoming more complex than previous days. In this time, the
designing and testing is too much tough without any proper
simulation software. In this stage, QualNet is that kind of
simulator, where we can design a wireless and wired network
systematically and we can also implement there LAN, cloud,
switch, Wi-Fi, etc and simulate also. We can also detect &
correction errors by this simulator. In this paper, we have
described on a 4G scenario and it’s results. Later we have a
plan on modification of the network.
Key Words: LTE, QualNet, Wi-Fi, ITU-R, LAN
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 About QualNet Software
QualNet [1] software is a tool for scientists,
engineers and network planners to create virtual models of
all types of data, voice and video networks. The models are
comprised of nodes representing the network elements and
endpoints (routers, switches, access points, groundstations,
satellites, mobile phones, radios, sensors, PCs, servers,
firewalls and other security equipment) and the links that
interconnect the nodes (LAN segments, internet circuits,
radio transmissions, Wi-Fi signals,LTEconnections,etc.)The
virtual network models are used by QualNet to simulate the
behavior of the network undera widevarietyofuser-defined
operating scenarios and applicationtraffic patternsatfaster-
than-real-time speeds. Simulations can be federated with
other simulation tools via HLA, DIS and socket interfaces.
QualNet virtual network models deliver real-world fidelity,
accuracy and precision. On this behalf qualnet provides
heterogeneous wireless access facilities which are available
on mobile terminals.
1.2 ADVANTAGES
QualNet has many types of advantages, basically it is a
wireless network topology-
1. Multi-threating capabilities of multicore, cluster,
multi and 64 bit processor system.
2. It has the ability for real time analysis to enable
dynamic management.
3. Recombining different network.
4. It can design large user design network.
5. It enables the user to design new protocol models.
1.3. DISADVANTAGES
Beside advantages, there is also disadvantage,
1. QualNet is not a open source product so difficult for
installation in linux & it is very expensive.
2. PROPOSED METHODOLOGY
In the software, we are trying to implement some graphical
representation by using 4G, which is not possible in real
field. That’s why we are trying to implement it by using
QualNet software to implement it for future. We have
included here the 2D view (Fig:-1) & a 3Dview(Fig:-2)ofthe
scenario of this project.
A cloud is connected with the network system to
increase the data speed.

3. CONCLUSIONS
Fourth Generation (4G) systems, in addition to the usual
voice and other services of Third Generation (3G), provides
mobile ultra-broadband Internet access. Worldwide
Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) forum
promises to offer high data rate over large areas to a large
number of users where broadbandisunavailable.Thispaper
focuses on routing in fourth generation wireless networks
along with a brief study on layer three routing protocols. To
this end, a wireless network scenario is simulated and their
key features are exposed using QualNet Network Simulator.
QualNet is a commercial software that runs on all
common platforms (Linux, Windows, Solaris, OS X) and is
specialized in simulating all kind of wireless applications. It
has a quite clear user interface compared to other solutions
while also offering an easy to use command line interface.
We conclude that these are the major application of
QualNet:-
Network design and architecture optimization.
Capacity prediction and Mission planning.
Protocol and waveform technology research issue.
Propagation modeling and RF interference.
Disaster response preparation system.
Hardware and software development.
Without having compared QualNet to other similiar
solutions various advantages became apparent while using
it. The most important ones are easy-to-use and clear UI. It
has wide range of possible applications. It’s support for
multiprocessor systems and distributed computing and
sophisticated animation capabilities. It has extensive
possibilities for analyzing scenario. There’re some
disadvantages as well:
Difficult in installation on Linux.
Slow Java-based UI
FTURE SCOPE
We have to do:
Design new protocol models [4]
Optimize new and existing models
Try to find out the cause of disadvantages & try to
solve the problems also.
Modification of the network also.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We took opportunity to express my earnest
gratitude & sincerest thanks to our departmental faculties
for giving the most valuable suggestion, co-operative
guidance & inspiration for this paper work.
We are also thankful to our group member also.
