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
A Game-Theoretic Approach to Energy-Efficient Resource Allocation in Device-to-Device Underlay Communications
Despite the numerous benefits brought by Device-to-Device (D2D)
communications, the introduction of D2D into cellular networks poses many new
challenges in the resource allocation design due to the co-channel interference
caused by spectrum reuse and limited battery life of User Equipments (UEs).
Most of the previous studies mainly focus on how to maximize the Spectral
Efficiency (SE) and ignore the energy consumption of UEs. In this paper, we
study how to maximize each UE's Energy Efficiency (EE) in an
interference-limited environment subject to its specific Quality of Service
(QoS) and maximum transmission power constraints. We model the resource
allocation problem as a noncooperative game, in which each player is
self-interested and wants to maximize its own EE. A distributed
interference-aware energy-efficient resource allocation algorithm is proposed
by exploiting the properties of the nonlinear fractional programming. We prove
that the optimum solution obtained by the proposed algorithm is the Nash
equilibrium of the noncooperative game. We also analyze the tradeoff between EE
and SE and derive closed-form expressions for EE and SE gaps.Comment: submitted to IET Communications. arXiv admin note: substantial text

Spatial and Social Paradigms for Interference and Coverage Analysis in Underlay D2D Network
The homogeneous Poisson point process (PPP) is widely used to model spatial
distribution of base stations and mobile terminals. The same process can be
used to model underlay device-to-device (D2D) network, however, neglecting
homophilic relation for D2D pairing presents underestimated system insights. In
this paper, we model both spatial and social distributions of interfering D2D
nodes as proximity based independently marked homogeneous Poisson point
process. The proximity considers physical distance between D2D nodes whereas
social relationship is modeled as Zipf based marks. We apply these two
paradigms to analyze the effect of interference on coverage probability of
distance-proportional power-controlled cellular user. Effectively, we apply two
type of functional mappings (physical distance, social marks) to Laplace
functional of PPP. The resulting coverage probability has no closed-form
expression, however for a subset of social marks, the mark summation converges
to digamma and polygamma functions. This subset constitutes the upper and lower
bounds on coverage probability. We present numerical evaluation of these bounds
on coverage probability by varying number of different parameters. The results
show that by imparting simple power control on cellular user, ultra-dense
underlay D2D network can be realized without compromising the coverage
probability of cellular user.Comment: 10 pages, 10 figure
