A Survey on Simulation Efforts of 4G/LTE-based Cellular and Hybrid V2X Communications

In the past few years, the cellular telecommunication world advanced with new promised underlying technologies that enable robust communication networks with cellular communication-based approaches. Techniques such as the 4G/LTE and beyond could foster the development of the autonomous vehicle industry, and vehicular communication applications could also provide significant reliability in realistic road situations. The fourth-generation (4G) of mobile cellular telecommunication systems can be applied in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) environments in terms of providing intelligent traffic solutions with an enhancement of the performance of Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication and known as Cellular V2X (C-V2X). To highlight the efforts of 4G/LTE-based cellular communication in V2X technology evolution, this paper presents a comprehensive survey about the simulation evaluation papers of 4G/LTE technology in C-V2X or hybrid V2X communications.
