Abstract

Emerging 5G applications impose stringent requirements on network latency and reliability. In this work, we propose a low-latency reliable device-to-device (D2D) relay network framework to improve the cell coverage and user satisfaction. Particularly, we develop a cross-layer low-complexity resource allocation algorithm, which jointly optimizes the rate control and power allocation from a long-term perspective. The long-term optimization problem is transformed into a series of short-term subproblems by using Lyapunov optimization, and the objective function is separated into two independent subproblems related to rate control in network layer and power allocation in physical layer. Next, the Karush-Kuhn-Tucher (KKT) conditions and alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) algorithm are employed to solve the rate control subproblem and power allocation subproblem, respectively. Finally, simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can reach 99.9% of the optimal satisfaction of D2D pairs with lower average network delay compared to the baseline algorithm. Furthermore, the convergence time of the ADMM-based power allocation algorithm is only about 1.7% of that by using the CVX toolbox.

Highlights

  • With the explosive growth of mobile applications, it is predicted that approximately 50 billion devices will interconnect to the network by 2020 [1, 2]

  • Since both the arrival rate of required data at TXs and channel conditions among D2D pairs are varying over time, there requires a joint optimization of the rate control in network layer and transmission rate in physical layer

  • To provide a tractable solution, we developed an alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM)-based low-complexity power allocation scheme, which decomposes the large problem into a series of smaller subproblems and coordinates the solutions of these subproblems to find the solution of the original problem

Summary

Introduction

With the explosive growth of mobile applications, it is predicted that approximately 50 billion devices will interconnect to the network by 2020 [1, 2]. To solve the abovementioned challenges, we propose a cross-layer online joint resource allocation algorithm to optimize the long-term satisfaction of D2D pairs while maintaining network reliability and reduce transmission delay. In [6], Dang et al proposed a full-duplex based D2D multi-hop communication framework, where the data forwarded between D2D transmitters and receivers are assisted by using multiple relays These works mainly focus on the optimization of short-term network performance, e.g., instantaneous network capacity, energy efficiency, and transmission latency, while ignoring the optimization of time-average performance. Different from the abovementioned works, we propose a long-term cross-layer joint optimization of rate control and power allocation scheme for D2D relay networks by combining Lyapunov optimization and ADMM. It can be extended to solve similar joint rate control and power allocation problems in different application scenarios such as task offloading [8] and energy harvesting [16]
