Future roadmap for RRC and Control Plane modelling in Simu5G

[kaushiksarthak89-lang]

The introduction of explicit RRC modules and the move toward a more structured control-plane architecture in Simu5G 1.4.3 is a significant and promising step.

I would like to understand the future direction in this area:

• Do you plan to further extend RRC functionality (e.g., mobility procedures like handover signalling, measurement configuration, etc.)?
• What is the expected timeline or priority for evolving the control-plane modelling in upcoming releases?

Any insights on the long-term vision would be very helpful for aligning ongoing development efforts.

Thank you!

Thank you for raising this -- a more structured control-plane architecture is indeed a major goal that I am pursuing. I have made significant progress since release 1.4.3, and a new version is being prepared for release. Let me post a link to the announcement draft in my work repo:

Thank you for the update and for sharing the announcement draft. It is encouraging to see the continued progress toward a more structured control-plane architecture, particularly with the enhancements in RRC functionality.

I would be grateful if you could provide an indicative timeline for the upcoming release, as this would assist us in aligning our ongoing development efforts accordingly.

Thank you!
