Abstract

Underlaying device-to-device (D2D) communication is suggested as a promising technology for the next generation cellular networks (5G), where users in close proximity can transmit directly to one another bypassing the base station. However, when D2D communications underlay cellular networks, the potential gain from resource sharing is highly determined by how the interference is managed. In order to mitigate the resource reuse interference between D2D user equipment and cellular user equipment in a multi-cell environment, we propose a resource allocation scheme and dynamic power control for D2D communication underlaying uplink cellular network. Specifically, by introducing the fractional frequency reuse (FFR) principle into the multi-cell architecture, we divide the cellular network into inner region and outer region. Combined with resource partition method, we then formulate the optimization problem so as to maximize the total throughput. However, due to the coupled relationship between resource allocation and power control scheme, the optimization problem is NP-hard and combinational. In order to minimize the interference caused by D2D spectrum reuse, we solve the overall throughput optimization problem by dividing the original problem into two sub-problems. We first propose a heuristic resource pairing algorithm based on overall interference minimization. Then with reference to uplink fractional power control (FPC), a dynamic power control method is proposed. By introducing the interference constraint, we use a lower bound of throughput as a cost function and solve the optimal power allocation problem based on dual Lagrangian decomposition method. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm achieves efficient performance compared with existing methods.
