Joint mode selection, MCS assignment, resource allocation and power control for D2D communication underlaying cellular networks

摘要

Device-to-device (D2D) communication underlaying a cellular infrastructure has been proposed as a means of facilitating rich local services and offloading the base station traffic. However, D2D communication presents a challenge in radio resource management due to the potential interference it may cause to the cellular network. In this paper, the joint optimization problem of D2D mode selection, modulation and coding schemes (MCSs) assignment, radio resources and power allocation is formulated to minimize the overall power consumption under minimum required rate guarantee. The problem is decoupled into two sub-problems which are solved by Lagrangian relaxation and tabu search methods, respectively. Simulation results show its performance superiority over other schemes, especially in the scenarios with high required rate and limited resources.
