Cross-Layer Performance Evaluation of C-V2X

As self-driving cars increasingly penetrate our daily lives, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications are emerging as one of the key enabler technologies. However, the dynamicity of vehicles (one of whose causes is the mobility of vehicles) often complicates it even further to evaluate the performance of a V2X system. We have been building a system-level simulator dedicated to assessing the performance of V2X communications. We highlight that the simulator features the incorporation of (i) intelligent transportation system (ITS) scenarios in geographical setup and (ii) physical (PHY) and radio resource control (RRC) cross-layer performance evaluation capability. In particular, this abstract reports the status of our implementation of the modulation and coding scheme (MCS).
