Performance analysis of LTE protocol for EV to EV communication in vehicle-to-grid (V2G)

Abstract

The communication between the grid control center (GCC) to aggregator and aggregator to Electrical Vehicles (EV) is very important in order to support the grid requirements and meet the load demand in a short duration of time. The aggregator sends the power requirement information to EVs and EVs have to receive this information irrespective of either being parked or moving. The EVs which have received this information can communicate the same to other EVs which have not received it. The Long Term Evolution (LTE) protocol is proposed for EV to EV communication in V2G to facilitate the participation of EVs in power transaction. The downlink physical layer of LTE protocol is modeled using MATLAB/SIMULINK and its performance is investigated. � 2015 IEEE.
