Outage Statistics of V2I Macro Diversity Communications over Interference Limited Composite Fading Channels

Abstract

This paper addresses outage statistics of vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) macro (MAC) diversity communications overinterference limited (IL) fading channels. The MAC diversity selection combining (SC) reception is used to decrease the effect of the composite fading (the fading when multipath and shadowing are presentedat the same time). Analyticalframework for obtaining fast converging, infinite series expression for outage probability at the output of MAC SC diversity V2I communications model is developed and used to numerically present obtained results for various sets of V2I channel parameters
