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.

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
