Abstract
The advent of 6G wireless communication marks a transformative era in technological connectivity, bringing forth challenges and opportunities alike. This paper unveils an innovative, open-source simulator, meticulously crafted for cell-free 6G wireless networks. This simulator is not just a tool but a gateway to the future, blending cutting-edge channel models with the simulation of both physical propagation effects and intricate system-level protocols. It stands at the forefront of technological advancement by integrating LIS and MIMO technologies, harnessing the power of the Unity game engine for efficient ray-tracing and GPU-accelerated computations. The unparalleled flexibility in scenario configuration, coupled with its unique ability... (More)
