V2V-Assisted V2I MmWave Communication for Cooperative Perception with Information Value-Based Relay
Paper in proceeding, 2021

Millimeter-wave (mmWave) vehicular communication is a key technology that enables autonomous vehicles to collaborate in environment perception, thereby improving traffic efficiency and safety to a new level. Many recent works have focused on relay-based solutions to overcome the inherent defects of mmWave, such as the severe path loss and its sensitivity to blockages. However, the selfishness of the vehicles is often ignored. Considering the application-oriented nature of vehicular communication, we propose an information value-based relay strategy for mmWave vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) transmission in this paper. Specifically, the vehicles are allowed to make relay decisions based on the evaluation of the value of messages from their own perspectives. To this end, a simple relay probability model based on the required awareness range is introduced. Through the use of stochastic geometry to model the vehicular network, the outage performance is analyzed and the results are validated by simulations. Impacts of both network and application related parameters on the outage performance are investigated. These preliminary results laid the foundation for the further expansion of the information value-based relay strategies to a wider range of network settings.
