Abstract
In advanced vehicular networks, Roadside Unit (RSU)-based amplify-and-forward (AF) relay and passive Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS) are two potential helpers to enhance the vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications when the direct link experiences poor quality. This paper presents a comprehensive comparison of the two enhancement modes from the outage performance perspective. In the presence of both direct link and enhanced link, the analytical expressions of the outage probability (OP) for the V2V communication under the two enhancement modes are derived respectively. Moreover, considering the co-channel interference caused by relay/RIS, the OP of the neighbouring vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication is also derived. Additional analysis compares the diversity order and the strength of interference created by the V2V communication under the two enhancement modes. Further discussions are presented on the effect of the channel estimation error and phase quantization error under the RIS mode. Finally, the pros and cons of the two enhancement modes are demonstrated by both the analytical and numerical results.
