Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) Mode 4 model for ns-3

Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) Mode 4 Communication Model for ns-3

A ns-3 model for C-V2X Mode 4 communication based on the ns-3 D2D model from NIST.

The work on this paper has been partially funded by the federal state of Northrhine-Westphalia and the “European Regional Development Fund” (EFRE) 2014-2020 in the course of the InVerSiV project under grant number EFRE-0800422 and by DeutscheForschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) within the Collaborative Research Center SFB 876 project B4.

Installation

1. Clone or download the source code from this repository
2. Navigate to the root directory of the cloned/downloaded repository
3. Configure the project using the command

   ./waf configure

4. Build the project using the command

   ./waf build

For more details regarding the configuration and building of ns-3 projects see the ns-3 documentation.

Usage

A example script for the usage of the C-V2X Mode 4 is located in the scratch directory of this repository (v2x_communication_example.cc). To run the example script run:

   ./waf --run v2x_communication_example
