Evaluating the Performance of Full-Duplex Energy Harvesting Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communication System over Double Rayleigh Fading Channels

Abstract

In this paper, we analyze the performance of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication system, which employs full-duplex (FD) and energy harvesting (EH) techniques at source and relay nodes from power beacon (PB) through radio frequency. Unlike previous systems where all nodes located at fixed locations, we investigate the case that three nodes (source, relay, and destination) are moving vehicles. Therefore, the channels between them follow double (cascade) Rayleigh fading distributions. Furthermore, the source and relay nodes can harvest the energy from PB for data transmission when they move on the road. We derive the exact expressions of the outage probability (OP) and symbol error probability (SEP) of the proposed system and then intensively study the impacts of various parameters such as the number transmission antennas of PB, the time duration for EH, the distances between nodes, and the residual self-interference (RSI) at the FD relay node on the system performance. Monte-Carlo simulations validate all theory analysis. Numerical results show that system performance is strongly impacted by the number of transmission antennas of the power beacon, the EH duration, the RSI, and the distances between nodes. Moreover, for a given transmission of power beacon and the SIC capability of the FD relay node, there exist optimal EH duration and optimal distance from the source to relay, which provide the best system performance.

Kinerja Sistem Hybrid Radio Frequency Energy Harvesting Pada Sistem Komunikasi V2V

“…Dari hasil numerik ditunjukkan kinerja sistem untuk penguatan relai dengan variabel dan nilai tetap selama penurunan double rayleigh fading dibandingkan dengan saluran rayleigh fading. Dalam [8] penulis mengevaluasi dampak protokol RF-EH dengan time switching (TS) pada sistem komunikasi kooperatif V2V dengan mode FD di mana sumber, relai dan tujuan bergerak di jalan. Sumber dan relay memperoleh EH dari power beacon (PB).…”

“…Dari hasil simulasi dapat ditunjukkan bahwa durasi waktu EH sangat berpengaruh terhadap kinerja sistem. Pada [8] proses RF-EH dilakukan oleh sumber dan relai, dan jika PB mati karena masalah yang tidak diketahui maka proses RF-EH dan sinyal yang dikirim akan berhenti.…”
