Performance Analysis of 5G New Radio V2X Communication

Abstract

This paper aims in analyzing the performance of the New Radio (NR) technology introduced by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) for Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication. The NR system is believed to be a complementary service for the already existing Long Term Evolution (LTE) Cellular-vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) for advanced services in vehicular communications. The 5th generation (5G) NR systems are believed to outperform LTE C-V2X in terms of providing high throughput, low latency, and high reliability in dense traffic situations. Our aim in this paper is to implement and analyze the 5G NR V2X open source module in network simulation-3 (ns-3) and then to demonstrate the NR V2X performance in terms of different key performance indicators by varying a number of situations, including transmit power, communication range, packet size and sub-carrier spacing in the broadcast channel.
