With technology and societal development, the 5th generation wireless communication (5G) contributes significantly to different societies like industries or academies. Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication technology has been one of the leading services for 5G which has been applied in vehicles. It is used to exchange their status information with other traffic and traffic participants to increase traffic safety and efficiency. Cellular-V2X (C-V2X) is one of the emerging technologies to enable V2X communications. The first Long-Term Evolution (LTE) based C-V2X was released on the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standard. 3GPP is working towards the development of New Radio (NR) systems that it is called 5G NR V2X. One single numerology in LTE cannot satisfy most performance requirements because of the variety of deployment options and scenarios. For this reason, in order to meet the diverse requirements, the 5G NR Physical Layer (PHY) is designed to provide a highly flexible framework. Scalable Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) numerologies make flexibility possible. The term numerology refers to the PHY waveform parametrization and allows different Subcarrier Spacings (SCSs), symbols, and slot duration. This paper implements the Link-Level (LL) simulations of LTE C-V2X communication and 5G NR V2X communication where simulation results are used to compare similarities and differences between LTE and 5G NR. We detect the effect of variable PHY Numerologies of 5G NR on the LL performance of V2X. The simulation results show that the performance of 5G NR improved by using variable numerologies.
