  • Abstract

    The Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has recently announced its Release 16, which introduces advanced functionalities to support the cellular vehicle to everything (C-V2X) technology. C-V2X allows direct communication between vehicles through the sidelink operation. This appears as an option to DSRC technologies; both are key wireless technologies that play a vital role in implementing and deploying advanced driving applications. This paper presents a thorough review of the available open-source frameworks intended for the performance evaluation of C-V2X protocols and V2X applications. For this, we consider validated OMNeT++-based simulation libraries and frameworks: SimuLTE, OpenCV2X, Artery-C, 5G-Sim-V2I/N, and Simu5G. We focus on the different frameworks' support regarding advanced V2X communications on 5G mobile networks.
