================================
This ns-3 module enables the support for running multiple terminations of an O-RAN-compliant E2 interface inside the simulation process. It has been developed as part of a collaborative effort between the Institute for the Wireless Internet of Things (WIoT) at Northeastern University, Mavenir, and the University of Padova.

This module can be used with an extension of the ns3-mmWave module that will soon be released. The module needs to be cloned in the contrib folder. The e2sim library needs to be installed.
We will provide further instructions as part of this README file.
The ns3-o-ran-e2 module is the result of the development effort carried out by different people. The main contributors are:
- Andrea Lacava, Northeastern University and Sapienza, University of Rome
- Michele Polese, Northeastern University
- Tommaso Zugno, University of Padova
- Rajarajan Sivaraj and team, Mavenir
We welcome contributions through pull requests. A contribution guide will be provided soon.
