Main simulation loop of the simulator. The main loop consists of an outer loop over chunks that are processed independently. At the beginning of the inner loop over TSs, the MF values are updated if a new segment begins. For each iteration, five steps are performed, which are updating the channel (i.e., the small-scale fading), distribution of the available resources to users by the scheduler, calculation of the postequalization SINR in the LQM, calculation of feedback, and finally mapping of SINR to BLER in the LPM
