1. A method, comprising:
aligning, by a device, a time slot, derived from a universal time clock, to zero;
defining, by the device, a verification start time, for multiple simulations, based on status data, the time slot being aligned to zero, and a system frame number, derived from the universal time clock, being zero;
defining, by the device, a network frame number that increments when the verification start time changes from zero to one and after a simulation start time and the system frame number are equal to zero; and
causing, by the device, the multiple simulations to be executed, synchronized in time and based on the time slot, the system frame number, and the network frame number.
