Resource Allocation and Power Control for D2D Communication Underlaying LTE-Advanced Networks

Abstract

Abstract. Device-to-device (D2D) communications has proven to be efficient in improving the network performance and releasing the traffic load of base station. D2D user equipment(DUEs) can share the same LTE resources blocks with the cellular user equipment(CUEs), but it would cause severe co-channel interference. In this paper, a resource allocation and power control scheme is proposed to reduce the impact of co-channel interference. First, adopt a resource allocation scheme based on greedy algorithm on the premise of meeting the minimum rate requirements of devices, then the path loss compensation factor matrix could be calculated according to the distance between DUEs to the base station and CUEs and used to reduce the influence. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has better performance in D2D user access rate and system throughput.
