Abstract

In this paper, we address the joint channel and power allocation problem for Device-to-Device (D2D) communications underlaying uplink cellular networks. We aim to maximize the sum-rate of D2D communications while fulfilling the QoS requirements for both cellular users (CUs) and D2D pairs (DUs). We first propose a heuristic channel assignment algorithm in which a cellular channel is allowed to be shared by multiple DUs and every DU can reuse multiple channels. Given this assigned channels, a price-based Stackelberg game is then formulated to obtain the sub-optimal transmission power for DUs. The simulation results demonstrate that our proposed joint channel and power allocation scheme has a superiority over a few existing resource allocation schemes for D2D communications in terms of D2D sum-rate.
