By means of system-level simulations, we analyze in this paper the performance of Vehicle-to-Network (V2N) connectivity based on the 5th Generation - New Radio (5GNR) as a support to Cooperative, Connected and Automated Mobility (CCAM), in light of both network and Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) deployments. Focusing on a canonical centralized Cooperative Lane Change (CLC) use case that involves three vehicles in a cross-border highway environment, we assess the link reliability and the End-to-End (E2E) latency of all the messages involved in the CLC negotiation phase (from/to interconnected MECs hosting the centralized maneuvering application), while assuming different deployment configurations and the coexistence with a second demanding vehicular service running over the same radio resources. On this occasion, we illustrate possible benefits from Bandwidth Partitioning (BWP) on Uplink (UL) latency, as well as from an hypothetically tight cooperation between Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) on reliability and continuity, leveraging low-latency inter-MEC transactions and seamless cross-border handover capabilities.
