Realistic simulation scenario for hybrid LTE/IEEE 802.11p vehicular communication

In this paper, a top-down approach to create a realistic simulation scenario for joint IEEE 802.11p and Long Term Evolution (LTE) performance evaluations is presented. Applying this approach, a scenario suited for both link and system level simulations based on the city of Doha, Qatar is developed. The scenario allows the investigation of different usecases considered for future intelligent transportation systems (ITSs). Preliminary simulation results for IEEE 802.11p and LTE are presented for one particular area.
