Power Control for D2D Underlay in Multi-cell Massive MIMO Networks
This paper proposes a new power control and pilot allocation scheme for
device-to-device (D2D) communication underlaying a multi-cell massive MIMO
system. In this scheme, the cellular users in each cell get orthogonal pilots
which are reused with reuse factor one across cells, while the D2D pairs share
another set of orthogonal pilots. We derive a closed-form capacity lower bound
for the cellular users with different receive processing schemes. In addition,
we derive a capacity lower bound for the D2D receivers and a closed-form
approximation of it. Then we provide a power control algorithm that maximizes
the minimum spectral efficiency (SE) of the users in the network. Finally, we
provide a numerical evaluation where we compare our proposed power control
algorithm with the maximum transmit power case and the case of conventional
multi-cell massive MIMO without D2D communication. Based on the provided
results, we conclude that our proposed scheme increases the sum spectral
efficiency of multi-cell massive MIMO networks.Comment: 6 Pages, 3 Figures, WSA 201
Resource Allocation for Device-to-Device Communications in Multi-Cell Multi-Band Heterogeneous Cellular Networks
Heterogeneous cellular networks (HCNs) with millimeter wave (mm-wave)
communications are considered as a promising technology for the fifth
generation mobile networks. Mm-wave has the potential to provide multiple
gigabit data rate due to the broad spectrum. Unfortunately, additional free
space path loss is also caused by the high carrier frequency. On the other
hand, mm-wave signals are sensitive to obstacles and more vulnerable to
blocking effects. To address this issue, highly directional narrow beams are
utilized in mm-wave networks. Additionally, device-to-device (D2D) users make
full use of their proximity and share uplink spectrum resources in HCNs to
increase the spectrum efficiency and network capacity. Towards the caused
complex interferences, the combination of D2D-enabled HCNs with small cells
densely deployed and mm-wave communications poses a big challenge to the
resource allocation problems. In this paper, we formulate the optimization
problem of D2D communication spectrum resource allocation among multiple
micro-wave bands and multiple mm-wave bands in HCNs. Then, considering the
totally different propagation conditions on the two bands, a heuristic
algorithm is proposed to maximize the system transmission rate and approximate
the solutions with sufficient accuracies. Compared with other practical
schemes, we carry out extensive simulations with different system parameters,
and demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed scheme. In addition,
the optimality and complexity are simulated to further verify effectiveness and
efficiency.Comment: 13 pages, 11 figures, IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technolog
Energy Efficiency and Sum Rate when Massive MIMO meets Device-to-Device Communication
This paper considers a scenario of short-range communication, known as
device-to-device (D2D) communication, where D2D users reuse the downlink
resources of a cellular network to transmit directly to their corresponding
receivers. In addition, multiple antennas at the base station (BS) are used in
order to simultaneously support multiple cellular users using multiuser or
massive MIMO. The network model considers a fixed number of cellular users and
that D2D users are distributed according to a homogeneous Poisson point process
(PPP). Two metrics are studied, namely, average sum rate (ASR) and energy
efficiency (EE). We derive tractable expressions and study the tradeoffs
between the ASR and EE as functions of the number of BS antennas and density of
D2D users for a given coverage area.Comment: 6 pages, 7 figures, to be presented at the IEEE International

Energy Efficiency and Sum Rate Tradeoffs for Massive MIMO Systems with Underlaid Device-to-Device Communications
In this paper, we investigate the coexistence of two technologies that have
been put forward for the fifth generation (5G) of cellular networks, namely,
network-assisted device-to-device (D2D) communications and massive MIMO
(multiple-input multiple-output). Potential benefits of both technologies are
known individually, but the tradeoffs resulting from their coexistence have not
been adequately addressed. To this end, we assume that D2D users reuse the
downlink resources of cellular networks in an underlay fashion. In addition,
multiple antennas at the BS are used in order to obtain precoding gains and
simultaneously support multiple cellular users using multiuser or massive MIMO
technique. Two metrics are considered, namely the average sum rate (ASR) and
energy efficiency (EE). We derive tractable and directly computable expressions
and study the tradeoffs between the ASR and EE as functions of the number of BS
antennas, the number of cellular users and the density of D2D users within a
given coverage area. Our results show that both the ASR and EE behave
differently in scenarios with low and high density of D2D users, and that
coexistence of underlay D2D communications and massive MIMO is mainly
beneficial in low densities of D2D users.Comment: 30 pages, 10 figures, Submitte
