Abstract

Underlay device-to-device (D2D) communication in cellular networks has been considered as a promising technique that can improve the spectral efficiency of cellular systems and meet the growing demand for wireless local services. In underlay D2D, it is of primary importance to manage the mutual interference between cellular links and D2D links through effective resource allocation. While most of previous works on D2D resource allocation are developed based on the knowledge of the channel state information (CSI) on the interference channels as well as the desired channels, it is hard to obtain full CSI in practice. Accordingly, we consider D2D resource allocation schemes based on distance between nodes. In particular, we formulate two optimization problems for D2D resource allocation using the outage probability computed based on the distance information as cost functions. One is a linear sum assignment problem (LSAP) and the other is a linear bottleneck assignment problem (LBAP). By applying the graph theory, we provide efficient algorithms for solving the optimization problems. Numerical results are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed optimization as compared to previously proposed distance-based resource allocation algorithms.

Notes

  1. Note that the proposed resource allocation algorithms shall inherently provide fairness among D2D pairs in the sense that all the D2D pairs are allocated the same amount of resources
