+ LteHelper has been updated with some new APIs:
+
+ - new overloaded Attach methods to enable UE to automatically determine
+ the eNodeB to attach to (using initial cell selection);
+ - new methods related to handover algorithm: SetHandoverAlgorithmType
+ and SetHandoverAlgorithmAttribute;
+ - a new attribute AnrEnabled to activate/deactivate Automatic Neighbour
+ Relation (ANR) function; and
+ - a new method SetUeDeviceAttribute for configuring LteUeNetDevice.
+
+
+ The GSoC 2013 project in the LTE module has brought some additional APIs:
+
+ - a new abstract class LteHandoverAlgorithm, which every future
+ implementation of automatic handover trigger should inherit from;
+ - new classes LteHandoverAlgorithm and LteAnr as sub-modules of
+ LteEnbNetDevice class; both interfacing with the LteEnbRrc sub-module
+ through Handover Management SAP and ANR SAP;
+ - new attributes in LteEnbNetDevice and LteUeNetDevice classes related
+ to Closed Subscriber Group (CSG) functionality in initial cell
+ selection;
+ - new attributes in LteEnbRrc for configuring UE measurements' filtering
+ coefficient (i.e., quantity configuration);
+ - a new public method AddUeMeasReportConfig in LteEnbRrc for setting up
+ custom UE measurements' reporting configuration; measurement reports
+ can then be captured from the RecvMeasurementReport trace source;
+ and
+ - new trace sources in LteUeRrc to capture more events, such as System
+ Information messages (MIB, SIB1, SIB2), initial cell selection, random
+ access, and handover.

EpcHelper is just the base class defining the API, and the

+ The automatic handover trigger and ANR functions in LTE module have been
+ moved from LteEnbRrc class to separate classes. As a result, the related
+ attributes, e.g., ServingCellHandoverThreshold, NeighbourCellHandoverOffset,
+ EventA2Threshold, and EventA4Threshold have been removed from LteEnbRrc
+ class. The equivalent attributes are now in A2A4RsrqHandoverAlgorithm and
+ LteAnr classes.
+ Master Information Block (MIB) and System Information Block Type 1 (SIB1)
+ are now transmitted as LTE control messages, so they are no longer part of
+ RRC protocol.
+ UE RRC state model in LTE module has been considerably modified and is
+ not backward compatible with the previous state model.

+ - implementation of System Information Block Type 1 (SIB1);
+ - a new option for automatic UE attachment using Idle mode cell selection
