Outage Analysis of Device-to-Device Communication System

Abstract

In this paper, we analyze the outage performance of Device-to-Device (D2D) communication system in the presence of co-channel interference (CCI). Gamma distribution is considered here to model the random channel gain powers of D2D communication system and co-channel interferers. A characteristic function (CF) expression of the D2D communication system in the presence of CCI is presented as a function of various parameters of the system. Based on this CF expression an outage probability expression is presented as a function of arbitrary parameters of channel fading, CCI and path-loss. Effects of the CCI on the outage performance are then discussed with the help of numerical results under various channel and interference conditions.
