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
Benchmarking Practical RRM Algorithms for D2D Communications in LTE Advanced
Device-to-device (D2D) communication integrated into cellular networks is a
means to take advantage of the proximity of devices and allow for reusing
cellular resources and thereby to increase the user bitrates and the system
capacity. However, when D2D (in the 3rd Generation Partnership Project also
called Long Term Evolution (LTE) Direct) communication in cellular spectrum is
supported, there is a need to revisit and modify the existing radio resource
management (RRM) and power control (PC) techniques to realize the potential of
the proximity and reuse gains and to limit the interference at the cellular
layer. In this paper, we examine the performance of the flexible LTE PC tool
box and benchmark it against a utility optimal iterative scheme. We find that
the open loop PC scheme of LTE performs well for cellular users both in terms
of the used transmit power levels and the achieved
signal-to-interference-and-noise-ratio (SINR) distribution. However, the
performance of the D2D users as well as the overall system throughput can be
boosted by the utility optimal scheme, because the utility maximizing scheme
takes better advantage of both the proximity and the reuse gains. Therefore, in
this paper we propose a hybrid PC scheme, in which cellular users employ the
open loop path compensation method of LTE, while D2D users use the utility
optimizing distributed PC scheme. In order to protect the cellular layer, the
hybrid scheme allows for limiting the interference caused by the D2D layer at
the cost of having a small impact on the performance of the D2D layer. To
ensure feasibility, we limit the number of iterations to a practically feasible
level. We make the point that the hybrid scheme is not only near optimal, but
it also allows for a distributed implementation for the D2D users, while
preserving the LTE PC scheme for the cellular users.Comment: 30 pages, submitted for review April-2013. See also: G. Fodor, M.

Energy Efficiency and Spectral Efficiency Tradeoff in Device-to-Device (D2D) Communications
In this letter, we investigate the tradeoff between energy efficiency (EE)
and spectral efficiency (SE) in device-to-device (D2D) communications
underlaying cellular networks with uplink channel reuse. The resource
allocation problem is modeled as a noncooperative game, in which each user
equipment (UE) is self-interested and wants to maximize its own EE. Given the
SE requirement and maximum transmission power constraints, a distributed
energy-efficient resource allocation algorithm is proposed by exploiting the
properties of the nonlinear fractional programming. The relationships between
the EE and SE tradeoff of the proposed algorithm and system parameters are
analyzed and verified through computer simulations.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figures, long version paper of IEEE Wireless

Secure Full-Duplex Device-to-Device Communication
This paper considers full-duplex (FD) device-to-device (D2D) communications
in a downlink MISO cellular system in the presence of multiple eavesdroppers.
The D2D pair communicate sharing the same frequency band allocated to the
cellular users (CUs). Since the D2D users share the same frequency as the CUs,
both the base station (BS) and D2D transmissions interfere each other. In
addition, due to limited processing capability, D2D users are susceptible to
external attacks. Our aim is to design optimal beamforming and power control
mechanism to guarantee secure communication while delivering the required
quality-of-service (QoS) for the D2D link. In order to improve security,
artificial noise (AN) is transmitted by the BS. We design robust beamforming
for secure message as well as the AN in the worst-case sense for minimizing
total transmit power with imperfect channel state information (CSI) of all
links available at the BS. The problem is strictly non-convex with infinitely
many constraints. By discovering the hidden convexity of the problem, we derive
a rank-one optimal solution for the power minimization problem.Comment: Accepted in IEEE GLOBECOM 2017, Singapore, 4-8 Dec. 201

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
