Hi Luca,

The simulation code is implemented in our proprietary simulator (I 
should thank my MS thesis workers who contributed a lot). Thus cant 
really share the code but what I can share is some simulation results.

Note that in our implementation we followed latest update for varying 
threshold from the GCC draft

If you want GCC related logs particularly for LTE simulations I cant not 
provide that.We simulate lots of users and dont log all the GCC related 
variables.

However, I have attached simulation logs from two test cases-
1. a staircase bandwidth test , that I found interesting in one of the 
papers.
2. and test case 5.1 from 
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-sarker-rmcat-eval-test-01.

I hope those plots will give you an idea about the implementation we 
have and how it is behaving.

I would suggest you run tests from 
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-sarker-rmcat-eval-test-01 as well and 
then we can compare the results.

BR

Zahed
