Performance Analysis of V2V Beaconing Using LTE in Direct Mode With Full Duplex Radios

Vehicles will soon be equipped with wireless communication systems enabling a variety of new services. At the basis of each service is the transmission of beacon messages that advertise the vehicle's presence. In this letter, we investigate long term evolution (LTE) as the enabling technology for vehicle to vehicle (V2V) beaconing by exploiting: 1) the direct device to device (D2D) communication provided by Release 12 of LTE; and 2) the full...
