Energy-Efficient Resource Allocation for Device-to-Device Underlay Communication
Device-to-device (D2D) communication underlaying cellular networks is
expected to bring significant benefits for utilizing resources, improving user
throughput and extending battery life of user equipments. However, the
allocation of radio and power resources to D2D communication needs elaborate
coordination, as D2D communication can cause interference to cellular
communication. In this paper, we study joint channel and power allocation to
improve the energy efficiency of user equipments. To solve the problem
efficiently, we introduce an iterative combinatorial auction algorithm, where
the D2D users are considered as bidders that compete for channel resources, and
the cellular network is treated as the auctioneer. We also analyze important
properties of D2D underlay communication, and present numerical simulations to
verify the proposed algorithm.Comment: IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communication
Game-theoretic Resource Allocation Methods for Device-to-Device (D2D) Communication
Device-to-device (D2D) communication underlaying cellular networks allows
mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets to use the licensed spectrum
allocated to cellular services for direct peer-to-peer transmission. D2D
communication can use either one-hop transmission (i.e., in D2D direct
communication) or multi-hop cluster-based transmission (i.e., in D2D local area
networks). The D2D devices can compete or cooperate with each other to reuse
the radio resources in D2D networks. Therefore, resource allocation and access
for D2D communication can be treated as games. The theories behind these games
provide a variety of mathematical tools to effectively model and analyze the
individual or group behaviors of D2D users. In addition, game models can
provide distributed solutions to the resource allocation problems for D2D
communication. The aim of this article is to demonstrate the applications of
game-theoretic models to study the radio resource allocation issues in D2D
communication. The article also outlines several key open research directions.Comment: Accepted. IEEE Wireless Comms Mag. 201
Distributed Interference-Aware Energy-Efficient Resource Allocation for Device-to-Device Communications Underlaying Cellular Networks
The introduction of device-to-device (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). In this paper, we propose a distributed interference-aware
energy-efficient resource allocation algorithm to maximize each UE's energy
efficiency (EE) 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. The formulated EE maximization problem is a non-convex
problem and is transformed into a convex optimization problem by exploiting the
properties of the nonlinear fractional programming. An iterative optimization
algorithm is proposed and verified through computer simulations.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures, IEEE GLOBECOM 201
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
