Abstract
The emergence of multimedia services has meant a substantial increase in the number of devices in mobile networks and driving the demand for higher data transmission rates. The result is that, cellular networks must technically evolve to support such higher rates, to be equipped with greater capacity, and to increase the spectral and energy efficiency. Compared with 4G technology, the 5G networks are being designed to transmit up to 100 times more data volume with devices whose battery life is 10 times longer. Therefore, this new generation of networks has adopted a heterogeneous and ultra-dense architecture, where different technological advances are combined such as device-to-device (D2D) communication, which is one of the key elements of 5G networks. It has immediate applications such as the distribution of traffic load (data offloading), communications for emergency services, and the extension of cellular coverage, etc. In this communication model, two devices can communicate directly if they are close to each other without using a base station or a remote access point. Thus, eliminating the interference between the D2D and cellular communication in the network. The interference management has become a hot issue in current research. In order to address this problem, this paper proposes a joint resource allocation algorithm based on the idea of mode selection and resource assignment. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm effectively improves the system performance and reduces the interference as compared with existing algorithms.
Highlights
In recent years, wireless local area networks (WLANs) have become quite popular due to their low cost of deployment and easy implementation, which enables the rapid proliferation of personal networks
D2D communication enables the establishment of a peer-to-peer communication mode between two LTE-A terminals, in such a way that there would be a better use of the LTE network resources and a higher throughput would be provided to the terminals in D2D communication [10]
A link-level simulation program is established to test the scheme, and the simulation results are compared with the D2D scheme of multiplexing a cellular sub-channel and the pure cellular scheme
Summary
Wireless local area networks (WLANs) have become quite popular due to their low cost of deployment and easy implementation, which enables the rapid proliferation of personal networks. By using the D2D communication technology, when user terminals are relatively close, data can be directly transmitted It cannot only increase the system throughput and reduces the equipment power consumption and improves the system’s spectrum utilization [15,16]. This paper proposes a joint mode selection and resources allocation scheme based on the location of D2D users in the cell. In this method, the eNB first classifies the D2D pair according to the distance from the eNB. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme effectively reduces the interference between the users and improves the system throughput
