A Novel Approach: Routing Metric Using Level Crossing Rate for Device-to-Device Communication in a Multipath Fading Environment

Istikmal, Edwar, Indrarini Dyah Irawati

Abstract

In the real world, device-to-device (D2D) communications in ad hoc networks often experience changes in signal quality. The change in path characteristics is caused by the distance and multipath fading between the transmitter and receiver, so that the amplitude and phase of the received signal vary over time. Consequently, the performance of the routing algorithm in determining uncertain communication paths causes a significant decrease in throughput. Therefore, calculating the fading rate and the fading signal frequency, which are below a threshold, becomes imperative. This mechanism is known as the level crossing rate (LCR). Here, we propose LCR as a novel metric model approach for routing in multipath fading environments to determine the communication path. Also, we created a model for estimating throughput based on the LCR. We evaluated and compared the performance of our proposed method to that of a routing model that uses the shortest path algorithm (SPA) and channel quality (CQ) aware routing that employs average signal-to-noise ratio (ASNR) and average power connection (APC) as the metric. The simulation results show that the proposed LCR routing model outperforms another routing model that applies SPA, ASNR, and APC.

 

Keywords: routing metric, level crossing rate, device-to-device communication, multipath fading.
