Abstract
This paper investigates the spectrum allocation and power control problems of Device-to-device enabled vehicular communications in a rapidly changing wireless channel environment. We model the above-mentioned issue as a multi-objective optimization problem to realize spectrum allocation and power control. To solve the problem, we proposed a multi-objective evolutionary algorithm. Firstly, we take the network capacity of vehicle-to-infrastructure links as the optimization objective to improve the network transmission rate while ensuring the reliability of all vehicle-to-vehicle links. Power consumption efficiency is then considered to control interference in the network and provide better energy efficiency. Computer numerical results show that our algorithm can obtain desirable solutions efficiently for various scenarios of spectrum allocation and power control in vehicular communications.
