Researchers are currently speculating about what the role of beyond fifth-generation (B5G) or sixth generation (6G) wireless systems will be. Several use cases and applications are…
On the Performance of Cooperative NOMA Using MRC at Road Intersections in the Presence of Interference
Baha Eddine Youcef Belmekki, Abdelkrim Hamza, Benoît Escrig
As the traffic safety has become of utmost importance, much attention is given to intelligent transportation systems (ITSs), and more particularly to vehicular communications (VCs)…
Performance Evaluation of Adaptive Cooperative NOMA Protocol at Road Junctions
Baha Eddine Youcef Belmekki, Abdelkrim Hamza, Benoît Escrig
Vehicular communications (VCs) protocols offer useful contributions in the context of accident prevention thanks to the transmission of alert messages. This is even truer at road i…
On the Outage Probability of Vehicular Communications at Intersections Over Nakagami-m Fading Channels
Baha Eddine Youcef Belmekki, Abdelkrim Hamza, Benoît Escrig
In this paper, we study vehicular communications (VCs) at intersections, in the presence of interference over Nakagami-m fading channels. The interference are originated from vehic…
