Resource Allocation for Network-Integrated Device-to-Device Communications Using Smart Relays
With increasing number of autonomous heterogeneous devices in future mobile
networks, an efficient resource allocation scheme is required to maximize
network throughput and achieve higher spectral efficiency. In this paper,
performance of network-integrated device-to-device (D2D) communication is
investigated where D2D traffic is carried through relay nodes. An optimization
problem is formulated for allocating radio resources to maximize end-to-end
rate as well as conversing QoS requirements for cellular and D2D user equipment
under total power constraint. Numerical results show that there is a distance
threshold beyond which relay-assisted D2D communication significantly improves
network performance when compared to direct communication between D2D peers
Radio Link Enabler for Context-aware D2D Communication in Reuse Mode
Device-to-Device (D2D) communication is considered as one of the key
technologies for the fifth generation wireless communication system (5G) due to
certain benefits provided, e.g. traffic offload and low end-to-end latency. A
D2D link can reuse resource of a cellular user for its own transmission, while
mutual interference in between these two links is introduced. In this paper, we
propose a smart radio resource management (RRM) algorithm which enables D2D
communication to reuse cellular resource, by taking into account of context
information. Besides, signaling schemes with high efficiency are also given in
this work to enable the proposed RRM algorithm. Simulation results demonstrate
the performance improvement of the proposed scheme in terms of the overall cell
capacity
