Performance Evaluation of Vehicular Communication in Simulated Environment : A Comprehensive Evaluation of Vehicular Communication in LTE/5G Networks using a Simulated Environment

Abstract: This thesis presents a thorough evaluation of vehicular communication performance in LTE/5G networks through simulation. Focusing on TCP and UDP protocols, the study examines factors like window size, signal strength, and fading effects, emphasizing adaptive window sizing, TCP window scaling, and optimal UDP settings. Latency, adaptability to varying conditions, and alignment with real-world specifications are scrutinized. The experimental setup, addressing latency and throughput limitations, ensures accurate simulation of vehicular communication scenarios. Results contribute to optimized communication protocols, enhancing efficiency and reliability in vehicular communication systems for diverse automotive applications. The study also establishes methods for testing network parameters, measures performance under simulated conditions, and formulates test cases for telematics modules, ultimately aiming to improve their functionality and effectiveness.
