(Please find the original README below.)

This project was forked from https://github.com/FabianEckermann/ns-3_c-v2x and provides the same functions, but bindings for Python 3.8 are fixed.

I also added a simple method to compile the code:

This will take some time. A Docker container that contains all relevant requirements will be created and the build starts automatically. Also note that the first compilation will fail as the Bindings cannot be completely generated. A fix will be applied by the script and it will continue to compile ns-3, which should be successful now.

cd ns-3_c-v2x
./compile.sh
cd ..

If the build container is not close automatically, leave it by calling exit.

A ns-3 model for C-V2X Mode 4 communication based on the ns-3 D2D model from NIST.

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.

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

If you use our model in your research, please cite the following paper:
