| Abstract | The rapid evolution of cellular system design towards 5G and beyond gives rise to a need for investigation of the new features, design proposals and solutions in realistic settings for various deployments and use case scenarios. While many system level simulators for 4G and 5G exist today, there is particularly a dire need for a 3GPP compliant system level holistic and realistic simulator that can support evaluation of the plethora of AI based network automation solutions being proposed in literature. In this paper we present such a simulator developed at AI4networks Lab, called SyntheticNET. To the best of authors' knowledge, SyntheticNET is the very first python-based simulator that fully conforms to 3GPP 5G standard release 15 and is upgradable to future releases. The key distinguishing features of SyntheticNET compared to existing simulators include: 1) a modular structure to facilitate cross validation and upgrading to future releases; 2) flexible propagation modeling using measurement based, ray tracing based or AI based propagation modeling; 3) ability to import data sheet based on measurement based realistic vendor specific base station features such as antenna and energy consumption pattern; 4) support for 5G standard based adaptive numerology; 5) realistic and user-specific mobility patterns that are yielded from actual geographical maps; 6) detailed handover (HO) process implementation; and 7) incorporation of database aided edge computing. Another key feature of the SyntheticNET is the ease with which it can be used to test AI based network automation solutions. Being the first python based 5G simulator, this ease, in part stems for SyntheticNET's built-in capability to process and analyze large data sets and integrated access to Machine Learning libraries. Thus, SyntheticNET simulator offers a powerful platform for academia and industry alike to investigate not only new solutions for optimally designing, deploying and operating existing and emerging cellular networks but also for enabling AI empowered deep automation in the future. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
