A New Module in Simulation Tool (SHARC) for Interference Studies between Vehicular Communication Systems and Satellites in 5.9 GHz

This paper presents the implementation of a module in the open source simulation tool SHARC for compatibility studies between vehicular communication systems and fixed satellite service (FSS). The SHARC tool originally was designed for compatibility studies between IMT systems (including 5G) and other radiocommunication systems (Radar, EESS, etc), and the new module called SHARC-V2X allows the simulation of vehicular communication system, which is composed by communication links between vehicles and a fixed infrastructure (V2I) and vehicles (V2V). The implementation was validated by the simulation results with reflect the operational range of a vehicular communication according to the 3GPP specification.
