In this paper, the performance of Multicast-
Broadcast Single-Frequency Networks (MBSFN) that are exposed
to inter-carrier interference is investigated. LTE-MBSFN is considered
as one important approach to support vehicular safety
services through point-to-multipoint transmissions. However in
networks with high mobility users, user movement and multipath
propagation cause Doppler spreading and excess delay of
the received signal. Our focus lies on the implementation and
verification of abstraction models for inter-carrier interference
(ICI) in this context. We model ICI as additional Gaussian noise
that is added at the receiver. The increment in noise power is
determined by the user velocity, affecting the Doppler spread of
the signal. The proposed abstraction can be applied to investigate
the efficiency of the MBSFN networks with respect to user speed
and operational frequency of the transmitted signals.
