Technology-specific communication stacks have been modeled using the following simulation frameworks, i.e., SimuLTE [28] for LTE-based C-V2X and Simu5G [29] for 5G-based C-V2X communications.
It is worth noting here that this study represents an extension of our previous study published in [16] towards 5G-based C-V2X communication, while it deploys the same methodology in order to maintain the backward comparability of the results.
For the simulation of the 5G-specific communication protocols, we used the Simu5G simulation framework jointly developed by the CNG and Intel Corporation, again built for the OMNeT++. Those simulation frameworks were also verified and validated, see [28] for the SimuLTE and [36] for the Simu5G for more details, and are well accepted by the community, see [37,38] for more details.
