车对车（V2 V）通信为协同自动驾驶开辟了道路，以确保提高道路安全和交通效率。特别是将毫米波（mmWave）频谱用于V2 V，前景广阔，因为可用的大带宽提供了实现高数据速率连接的可能性。然而，这种潜力受到在这些频率下经历的显著路径和穿透损耗的阻碍。鉴于未来汽车应用对延迟和吞吐量的严格要求，实际评估在车辆场景中安装基于毫米波技术的可行性变得至关重要。为此，在本文中，我们介绍了V2 V毫米波网络的第一个ns-3模块MilliCar，它基于最新的NR V2X规范（下一代车载系统的3GPP标准）详细实现了侧链路物理（PHY）和介质访问控制（MAC）层。我们的模块是开源的，使研究人员能够通过端到端的全栈方法比较可能的设计选项及其相对性能，从而促进对该主题的进一步研究。
Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications have opened the way towards cooperative automated driving as a means to guarantee improved road safety and traffic efficiency. The use of the millimeter wave (mmWave) spectrum for V2V, in particular, holds great promise since the large bandwidth available offers the possibility of realizing high-data-rate connections. However, this potential is hindered by the significant path and penetration loss experienced at these frequencies. It then becomes fundamental to practically evaluate the feasibility of installing mmWave-based technologies in the vehicular scenario, in view of the strict latency and throughput requirements of future automotive applications. To do so, in this paper we present MilliCar, the first ns-3 module for V2V mmWave networks, which features a detailed implementation of the sidelink Physical (PHY) and Medium Access Control (MAC) layers based on the latest NR V2X specifications, the 3GPP standard for next-generation vehicular systems. Our module is open-source and enables researchers to compare possible design options and their relative performance through an end-to-end full-stack approach, thereby stimulating further research on this topic.
