Dear Community,

We are happy to announce a new release of the Vienna 5G System Level Simulator, that is version 1.3.

The simulator is provided for free under an academic, non-commercial use license. For this, please consider the license agreement that can be found in our website ([Vienna 5G Simulators – Telecommunications](https://www.tuwien.at/etit/tc/en/vienna-simulators/vienna-5g-simulators/)). Companies, no matter whether profit-oriented or not, can purchase a license.

The new features and improvements are listed in the change log below.

Best regards,  
The Vienna Cellular Communications Simulators Team

Changelog  
Newly introduced features:

- traffic models: VoIP, Gaming, Video Streaming, HTTP, FTP
- non-adaptive synchronous HARQ
- model-based LOS/NLOS decision
- weighted round robin scheduling
