The internet-of-things (IoT) environment connects different intelligent\ndevices together and enables seamless data communication between the connected\ndevices. Connected vehicles (CVs) are one of the primary example of the IoT,\nand the efficient, reliable, and safe operation of CVs demands a reliable\nwireless communication system, which can ensure high throughput and low\ncommunication latency. The 5G millimeter wave (5G mmWave) wireless\ncommunication network offers such benefits, which can be the enabler of CV\napplications, especially for dense urban areas with high number of CVs. In this\nstudy, we present a simulation-based evaluation framework of end-to-end 5G\nmmWave communication for CV applications. In addition, we compare the 5G mmWave\nwith the Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC) technology for a CV\napplication. The simulation framework is developed using two simulators, a\nnetwork simulator and a traffic simulator. In order to develop the framework in\nthis study, we have used Network Simulator 3 (ns-3) and SUMO, an open-source\nmicroscopic roadway traffic simulator. We have used end-to-end latency, packet\nloss and throughput as the performance evaluation metrics. We have found that\nfor dense urban areas, 5G mmWave can achieve higher throughput, lower latency\nand lower data loss compared to DSRC. 5G mmWave can support CV applications\nwith high throughput requirement on the downlink data flow. Through further\ninvestigation, we have found that the performance of 5G mmWave is significantly\nimpacted by the penetration level of CVs, maximum CV speed, and CV application\nrequirements.\n
