TL;DR: MilliCar is presented, 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.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a measurement system based on UE transmitting sounding signals in directions that sweep the angular space, the mmWave cells measuring the instantaneous received signal strength along with its variance to better capture the dynamics and reliability of a channel/direction and, finally, a centralized controller making handover and scheduling decisions based on the mm-wave cell reports and transmitting the decisions either via a mmWave cell or conventional microwave cell.

TL;DR: This paper presents possible simplifications that can reduce the complexity of ray tracing in the mmWave environment, without significantly affecting the accuracy of the model, and evaluates the effect of such simplifications on linklevel metrics.

TL;DR: This paper studies by simulation the practical feasibility of some mmWave-aware strategies to support V2N, in comparison to the traditional LTE connectivity below 6 GHz, and shows that the orchestration among different radios represents a viable solution to enable both high-capacity and robust V2n communications.

TL;DR: This paper presents possible simplifications to improve the trade-off between accuracy and complexity in ray-tracing simulations at mmWaves by reducing the total number of MPCs, and provides guidelines on the optimal degree of simplification.
