Coverage and Interference in D2D Networks With Poisson Cluster Process

Abstract

In this letter, we present an analytical framework for the coverage probability analysis in a device-to-device (D2D) network with the location of devices modeled as a Poisson cluster process. We consider Nakagami-m fading between the D2D communication links, which provides a more realistic scenario for the performance analysis. We assume a standard singular path loss model and use stochastic geometry as a tool for the interference and coverage probability analysis. Furthermore, we derive a closed form approximate expression and a bound on the coverage probability, and also include the interference-limited case. Numerical results corroborate our analysis.
