Cognitive and Energy Harvesting-Based D2D Communication in Cellular Networks: Stochastic Geometry Modeling and Analysis
While cognitive radio enables spectrum-efficient wireless communication,
radio frequency (RF) energy harvesting from ambient interference is an enabler
for energy-efficient wireless communication. In this paper, we model and
analyze cognitive and energy harvesting-based D2D communication in cellular
networks. The cognitive D2D transmitters harvest energy from ambient
interference and use one of the channels allocated to cellular users (in uplink
or downlink), which is referred to as the D2D channel, to communicate with the
corresponding receivers. We investigate two spectrum access policies for
cellular communication in the uplink or downlink, namely, random spectrum
access (RSA) policy and prioritized spectrum access (PSA) policy. In RSA, any
of the available channels including the channel used by the D2D transmitters
can be selected randomly for cellular communication, while in PSA the D2D
channel is used only when all of the other channels are occupied. A D2D
transmitter can communicate successfully with its receiver only when it
harvests enough energy to perform channel inversion toward the receiver, the
D2D channel is free, and the at the receiver is above the
required threshold; otherwise, an outage occurs for the D2D communication. We
use tools from stochastic geometry to evaluate the performance of the proposed
communication system model with general path-loss exponent in terms of outage
probability for D2D and cellular users. We show that energy harvesting can be a
reliable alternative to power cognitive D2D transmitters while achieving
acceptable performance. Under the same outage requirements as
for the non-cognitive case, cognitive channel access improves the outage
probability for D2D users for both the spectrum access policies.Comment: IEEE Transactions on Communications, to appea
Real-time Optimal Resource Allocation for Embedded UAV Communication Systems
We consider device-to-device (D2D) wireless information and power transfer
systems using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) as a relay-assisted node. As the
energy capacity and flight time of UAVs is limited, a significant issue in
deploying UAV is to manage energy consumption in real-time application, which
is proportional to the UAV transmit power. To tackle this important issue, we
develop a real-time resource allocation algorithm for maximizing the energy
efficiency by jointly optimizing the energy-harvesting time and power control
for the considered (D2D) communication embedded with UAV. We demonstrate the
effectiveness of the proposed algorithms as running time for solving them can
be conducted in milliseconds.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figures, 1 table. This paper is accepted for publication

A Comprehensive Review of D2D Communication in 5G and B5G Networks
The evolution of Device-to-device (D2D) communication represents a significant breakthrough within the realm of mobile technology, particularly in the context of 5G and beyond 5G (B5G) networks. This innovation streamlines the process of data transfer between devices that are in close physical proximity to each other. D2D communication capitalizes on the capabilities of nearby devices to communicate directly with one another, thereby optimizing the efficient utilization of available network resources, reducing latency, enhancing data transmission speed, and increasing the overall network capacity. In essence, it empowers more effective and rapid data sharing among neighboring devices, which is especially advantageous within the advanced landscape of mobile networks such as 5G and B5G. The development of D2D communication is largely driven by mobile operators who gather and leverage short-range communications data to propel this technology forward. This data is vital for maintaining proximity-based services and enhancing network performance. The primary objective of this research is to provide a comprehensive overview of recent progress in different aspects of D2D communication, including the discovery process, mode selection methods, interference management, power allocation, and how D2D is employed in 5G technologies. Furthermore, the study also underscores the unresolved issues and identifies the challenges associated with D2D communication, shedding light on areas that need further exploration and developmen
Outage Analysis of Energy Harvested Relay-Aided Device-to-Device Communications in Nakagami Channel
In this paper, we obtain a low-complexity closed-form formula for the outage probability of the energy-harvested decode-and-forward (DF) relay-aided underlay Device-to-device (D2D) communications in Nakagami fading channel. By proposing a new idea which finds the power splitting factor in simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) energy-harvesting system such that the transmit power of the relay node in the second time slot is fixed in a pre-defined value, the obtained closed-form expression is valid for both energy-harvested and non-energy-harvested scenarios. This formula is based on n-point generalized Gauss-Laguerre and m-point Gauss-Legendre solutions. It is shown that n is more effective than m for reducing the formula complexity. In addition to a good agreement between the simulation results and numerical analysis based on normalized mean square error (NMSE), it is indicated that (n, m)=(1, 4) and (n, m)=(1, 2) are the appropriate choices, respectively for 0.5≤ µ <0.7 and µ ≥0.7, where µ is the fading factor. As shown in this investigation, increasing the average distance between D2D pairs and cellular user (lower interference), is the reason for decreasing the outage probability. Furthermore, it is clear that increasing the Nakagami fading factor is the reason for decreasing the outage probability
Distributed Artificial Intelligence Solution for D2D Communication in 5G Networks
Device to Device (D2D) Communication is one of the technology components of
the evolving 5G architecture, as it promises improvements in energy efficiency,
spectral efficiency, overall system capacity, and higher data rates. The above
noted improvements in network performance spearheaded a vast amount of research
in D2D, which have identified significant challenges that need to be addressed
before realizing their full potential in emerging 5G Networks. Towards this
end, this paper proposes the use of a distributed intelligent approach to
control the generation of D2D networks. More precisely, the proposed approach
uses Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) intelligent agents with extended
capabilities (BDIx) to manage each D2D node independently and autonomously,
without the help of the Base Station. The paper includes detailed algorithmic
description for the decision of transmission mode, which maximizes the data
rate, minimizes the power consumptions, while taking into consideration the
computational load. Simulations show the applicability of BDI agents in jointly
solving D2D challenges.Comment: 10 pages,9 figure
