Abstract

High demand for bandwidth has been the primary motivation for device to device (D2D) communication. In cases where direct communication is not possible, two D2D devices are allowed to communicate via relay nodes. The relay selection problem is concerned with the selection of suitable relay device for each such D2D pairs while frequency assignment problem aims to optimally share the available spectrum resources among the active devices satisfying their quality of service requirements. In this work, we present a joint approach to solve the relay selection and frequency allocation problem in context of D2D communications. We incorporated a network coding strategy into our problem formulation which halves the required time slots for a two-way D2D communication. Considering the underlying problem is NP-Complete, we formulated a linear programming based greedy method which shows near-optimal performance with polynomial time complexity. We also compare our proposed algorithm with two existing works and show throughput improvement.
