  In this paper, we investigate the performance of LTE Multicast-Broadcast
Single-Frequency Networks (MBSFN). LTE-MBSFN is viewed as one of the most
promising candidates for vehicular communications which can enhance reliability
of vehicular application traffic. This is achieved due to the possibility to
efficiently support message exchange in-between vehicles by multicasting
information to several vehicles in parallel (point-to-multipoint transmission)
employing an Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service (MBMS). We investigate two
metrics to gauge the performance of MBMS/MBSFN transmissions in comparison with
standard unicast transmissions for vehicular communications: latency of packet
delivery and overhead caused by vehicular traffic, i.e., network utilization.
Additionally, we present technique of prediction of system behaviour and
explore the influence of transmission bandwidth and transmission rate on
mentioned metrics.
