Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive model including a wireless backhaul as a cost-effective backhaul alternative to wired backhaul for vehicular networks, a heterogeneous underlay cognitive vehicular network with multiple mobile secondary transmitters acting as mobile small cells, a mobile secondary receiver and a mobile primary user. To increase the spectrum utilization in this proposed vehicular network, multiple mobile secondary transmitters forward the signal to a mobile secondary receiver while using the same spectrum with a mobile primary user on the condition that the interference caused by secondary transmitters is tolerable at the primary user. A Bernoulli process is applied to model wireless backhaul reliability. The analytical closed-form expressions for outage probability as well as the asymptotic expression are derived to reveal the effects of backhaul reliability on the network performance over double-Rayleigh fading channels.
