Success Probability Analysis of Cooperative C-V2X Communications

In this paper, we present the success probability analysis of cooperative cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) communications, i.e., cellular-relay V2X communications. We model the spatial layout of macro base stations (MBSs) as a 2D Poisson point process (PPP) and roads as a Poisson line process (PLP), with road wireless nodes (including vehicles and roadside units) modeled as a 1D PPP on each road. For a typical source node, we calculate the signal-to-interference ratio (SIR)-based success probability of transmitting a packet to its closest destination node with the assist of its nearest MBS. We take into account three cooperative transmission schemes and derive their expressions of joint success probability in two consecutive phases considering the correlation of road topology and nodes’ locations, respectively. We verify the accuracy of our analytical results through Monte-Carlo simulations. In addition, we explore the impacts of several key parameters on the success probability and discuss the selection of transmission schemes.
