Integrating Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) into future Intelligent\nTransportation Systems (ITSs) allows to exploit their unique mobility\npotentials for improving the performance of services such as near-field parcel\ndelivery, dynamic network provisioning, and aerial sensing. In order to provide\na controllable environment for the methodological performance analysis,\nsimulation frameworks need to support ground- and aerial-based mobility as well\nas the involved communication technologies. In this paper, we present the open\nsource Lightweight ICT-centric Mobility Simulation (LIMoSim) framework for\nsimulating hybrid vehicular networks within Network Simulator 3 (ns-3). LIMoSim\nimplements a shared codebase coupling approach which integrates all required\ncomponents in a single simulation process. The low-level mobility behaviors\nrely on well-known analytical models. Different case studies discussing\ncutting-edge communication technologies such as Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything\n(C-V2X) and millimeter Wave (mmWave) are presented in order to illustrate how\nthe proposed framework can be integrated into ns-3-based network simulation\nsetups.\n
