Device-to-Device Communication in 5G Cellular Networks
Owing to the unprecedented and continuous growth in the number of connected users and networked devices, the next-generation 5G cellular networks are envisaged to support enormous number of simultaneously connected users and devices with access to numerous services and applications by providing networks with highly improved data rate, higher capacity, lower end-to-end latency, improved spectral efficiency, at lower power consumption. D2D communication underlaying cellular networks has been proposed as one of the key components of the 5G technology as a means of providing efficient spectrum reuse for improved spectral efficiency and take advantage of proximity between devices for reduced latency, improved user throughput, and reduced power consumption. Although D2D communication underlaying cellular networks promises lots of potentials, unlike the conventional cellular network architecture, there are new design issues and technical challenges that must be addressed for proper implementation of the technology. These include new device discovery procedures, physical layer architecture and radio resource management schemes. This thesis explores the potentials of D2D communication as an underlay to 5G cellular networks and focuses on efficient interference management solutions through mode selection, resource allocation and power control schemes. In this work, a joint admission control, resource allocation, and power control scheme was implemented for D2D communication underlaying 5G cellular networks. The performance of the system was evaluated, and comparisons were made with similar schemes.fi=Opinnäytetyö kokotekstinä PDF-muodossa.|en=Thesis fulltext in PDF format.|sv=Lärdomsprov tillgängligt som fulltext i PDF-format
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
