Resource Allocation for Energy-Efficient Device-to-Device Communication in 4G Networks
Device-to-device (D2D) communications as an underlay of a LTE-A (4G) network
can reduce the traffic load as well as power consumption in cellular networks
by way of utilizing peer-to-peer links for users in proximity of each other.
This would enable other cellular users to increment their traffic, and the
aggregate traffic for all users can be significantly increased without
requiring additional spectrum. However, D2D communications may increase
interference to cellular users (CUs) and force CUs to increase their transmit
power levels in order to maintain their required quality-of-service (QoS). This
paper proposes an energy-efficient resource allocation scheme for D2D
communications as an underlay of a fully loaded LTE-A (4G) cellular network.
Simulations show that the proposed scheme allocates cellular uplink resources
(transmit power and channel) to D2D pairs while maintaining the required QoS
for D2D and cellular users and minimizing the total uplink transmit power for
all users.Comment: 2014 7th International Symposium on Telecommunications (IST'2014
Coexistence of OFDM and FBMC for Underlay D2D Communication in 5G Networks
Device-to-device (D2D) communication is being heralded as an important part
of the solution to the capacity problem in future networks, and is expected to
be natively supported in 5G. Given the high network complexity and required
signalling overhead associated with achieving synchronization in D2D networks,
it is necessary to study asynchronous D2D communications. In this paper, we
consider a scenario whereby asynchronous D2D communication underlays an OFDMA
macro-cell in the uplink. Motivated by the superior performance of new
waveforms with increased spectral localization in the presence of frequency and
time misalignments, we compare the system-level performance of a set-up for
when D2D pairs use either OFDM or FBMC/OQAM. We first demonstrate that
inter-D2D interference, resulting from misaligned communications, plays a
significant role in clustered D2D topologies. We then demonstrate that the
resource allocation procedure can be simplified when D2D pairs use FBMC/OQAM,
since the high spectral localization of FBMC/OQAM results in negligible
inter-D2D interference. Specifically, we identify that FBMC/OQAM is best suited
to scenarios consisting of small, densely populated D2D clusters located near
the encompassing cell's edge.Comment: 7 pages, 9 figures, Accepted at IEEE Globecom 2016 Workshop
Optimal Virtualized Inter-Tenant Resource Sharing for Device-to-Device Communications in 5G Networks
Device-to-Device (D2D) communication is expected to enable a number of new
services and applications in future mobile networks and has attracted
significant research interest over the last few years. Remarkably, little
attention has been placed on the issue of D2D communication for users belonging
to different operators. In this paper, we focus on this aspect for D2D users
that belong to different tenants (virtual network operators), assuming
virtualized and programmable future 5G wireless networks. Under the assumption
of a cross-tenant orchestrator, we show that significant gains can be achieved
in terms of network performance by optimizing resource sharing from the
different tenants, i.e., slices of the substrate physical network topology. To
this end, a sum-rate optimization framework is proposed for optimal sharing of
the virtualized resources. Via a wide site of numerical investigations, we
prove the efficacy of the proposed solution and the achievable gains compared
to legacy approaches.Comment: 10 pages, 7 figure
Resource Allocation for Device-to-Device Communications Underlaying Heterogeneous Cellular Networks Using Coalitional Games
Heterogeneous cellular networks (HCNs) with millimeter wave (mmWave)
communications included are emerging as a promising candidate for the fifth
generation mobile network. With highly directional antenna arrays, mmWave links
are able to provide several-Gbps transmission rate. However, mmWave links are
easily blocked without line of sight. On the other hand, D2D communications
have been proposed to support many content based applications, and need to
share resources with users in HCNs to improve spectral reuse and enhance system
capacity. Consequently, an efficient resource allocation scheme for D2D pairs
among both mmWave and the cellular carrier band is needed. In this paper, we
first formulate the problem of the resource allocation among mmWave and the
cellular band for multiple D2D pairs from the view point of game theory. Then,
with the characteristics of cellular and mmWave communications considered, we
propose a coalition formation game to maximize the system sum rate in
statistical average sense. We also theoretically prove that our proposed game
converges to a Nash-stable equilibrium and further reaches the near-optimal
solution with fast convergence rate. Through extensive simulations under
various system parameters, we demonstrate the superior performance of our
scheme in terms of the system sum rate compared with several other practical
schemes.Comment: 13 pages, 12 figure
increasing efficiency of resource allocation for d2d communication in nb iot context
Abstract Internet of things (IoT) and device to device (D2D) communications are among the novel promising technologies in the current releases of 4G and they will play a fundamental role in the next generation 5G as well. In this paper, it is investigated the impact of allocation strategies that take into account the mutual interference in D2D Narrow-Band IoT terminals and cellular terminals transmitting in the same resource block. In a multi-cellular downlink context, the proposed approach and the analysis can serve also as an efficient criterion for selecting the target SINR, useful for managing the power control in the uplink. The rate improvement, measured with the proposed approach, is between 10% and 15% w.r.t. conventional techniques
