SC-FDMA-based resource allocation and power control scheme for D2D communication using LTE-A uplink resource
Device-to-device (D2D) communication-enabled cellular networks allow cellular devices to directly communicate with each other without any evolved NodeB (eNB). D2D communication aims to improve the spectral efficiency and increases the overall system capacity. For future mobile networks, intelligent radio resource allocation and power control schemes are required to accommodate the increasing number of cellular devices and their growing demand of data traffic. In this paper, a combined resource allocation and power control scheme for D2D communication is proposed. In the proposed scheme, D2D communication reuses the uplink (UL) resources of conventional cellular user equipments (CUEs); therefore, we have adopted single-carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) as UL transmission scheme. The proposed scheme uses fractional frequency reuse (FFR)-based architecture to efficiently allocate the resources and mitigate the interference between CUEs and D2D user equipments (DUEs). In order to guarantee the user fairness, the proposed scheme uses the well-known proportional fair (PF) scheduling algorithm for resource allocation. We have also proposed an intelligent power control scheme which provides equal opportunity to both CUEs and DUEs to achieve a certain minimum signal-to-interference and noise ratio (SINR) value. The performance evaluation results show that the proposed scheme significantly improves the overall cell capacity and achieves low peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR)
Proportional Fair Scheduling Using Water-Filling Technique for SC-FDMA Based D2D Communication
The resource allocation in SC-FDMA is constrained by the condition that
multiple subchannels should be allocated to a single user only if they are
adjacent. Therefore, the scheduling scheme of a D2D-cellular system that uses
SC-FDMA must also conform to the so-called adjacency constraint. This paper
proposes a heuristic algorithm with low computational complexity that applies
proportional fair (PF) scheduling in the D2D-cellular system. The proposed
algorithm consists of two main phases: i) subchannel allocation and ii)
adjustment of data rates, which are executed for both CUEs and DUEs. In the
subchannel allocation phase for CUEs (or D2D pairs), the users' data rates are
maximized via optimal power allocation to frequency-contiguous subchannels. In
the second phase, a PF scheduling problem is solved to decide the modulation
and coding scheme (MCS) of both CUEs and D2D pairs. Both phases of the proposed
algorithm benefit from the Water-Filling (WF) technique. The simulation results
suggest that the proposed scheme performs similarly to optimal PF scheduling
from the perspective of users' data rate and their logarithmic sum. An
additional benefit of the proposed scheme is its low computational overhead

FFR-based resource allocation scheme for Device-to-Device communication
Device-to-Device communication allows two cellular devices to communicate with each other without a base station. By relieving the base station from relaying data to and from different devices, D2D communication aims at increasing the system capacity. In a D2D enabled network, one of the critical issues is to effectively allocate frequency resource. In this paper, a resource allocation scheme has been proposed that increases the throughput of all devices by using Fractional Frequency Reuse
