D2D/蜂窝通信模式切换与联合功率控制方案

设备直连（Device-to-Device, D2D）通信技术通过复用蜂窝系统的频谱资源提高频谱利用率,但D2D的引入会给蜂窝系统带来干扰。如何合理地选择D2D/蜂窝通信模式并进行功率优化控制,成为减小D2D和蜂窝系统间干扰、提升网络性能的关键。本文考虑D2D用户复用蜂窝上行链路场景,提出了一种基于距离和联合功率控制的通信模式选择方案。在该方案中,D2D用户和蜂窝用户与基站距离的比值决定了D2D用户是否采用Underlay模式进行通信,进而在约束蜂窝用户和D2D用户发射功率的条件下实现D2D链路和蜂窝链路的联合功率控制,最终推导出能够最大化系统总吞吐量的最优用户功率分配方案。根据仿真结果,本文提出的联合功率控制方案能够在降低系统间干扰的同时有效提高D2D和蜂窝系统的总吞吐量,进而提高了系统的性能。      

Secure opportunistic access control in D2D-enabled cellular network

The mutual interference between cellular links and D2D links can bring the secrecy gain to cellular users in D2D-enable cellular networks.To make full use of them,a cooperative secrecy transmission scheme was proposed based on wireless channels.The channel direction information and gains depict the interference from D2D links to cellular links and other D2D links in the proposed scheme.Firstly,only the D2D users which meet the limited interference conditions were accessed to cellular networks to ensure their reliable communications.It was assumed that legitimate users and eavesdroppers were independent two-dimensional homogeneous Poisson point processes (PPP) distribution.Then the security outage probability (SOP) was derived for cellular users and the connection outage probability (COP) for D2D users,and the impacts of interference thresholds were discussed on their performances.Next,an optimization model was given to minimize D2D users’ COP while ensuring the secrecy performance requirements of cellular users,thus achieving the optimal performance.Finally,simulation results verify the validity of the proposed scheme.     

Dynamic resource allocation for Device‐to‐Device communication underlaying cellular networks

Future cellular networks such as IMT‐Advanced are expected to allow underlaying direct Device‐to‐Device (D2D) communication for spectrum efficiency. However, enabling D2D communication in a cellular network presents a challenge in resource allocation because of the potentially severe interference it may cause to the cellular network by reusing the spectrum with the cellular users. In this paper, we analyze the resource allocation problem in a single cell system when both cellular users and D2D users are present in the system. We first consider the scenario where cellular users and D2D users are allocated resource independently and propose an optimal algorithm and a heuristic algorithm, and then extend the methods to the scenario where cellular users and D2D users are allocated resource jointly. The number of permitted D2D pairs is selected as a performance measure because it is a more specific performance measure than spectrum efficiency. The proposed schemes maximize the number of permitted D2D communication pairs in a system meanwhile avoiding the strong interference from D2D links to the cellular links. Finally, the performance of the proposed methods is evaluated through the numerical simulation. The simulation results show that the proposed methods enhance the number of permitted D2D communication pairs significantly and that the performance of the proposed scheme for jointly allocation scenario is better than that of the proposed scheme for independently allocation scenario.

Mode selection schemes for unicasting device‐to‐device communications supported by network coding

Device‐to‐device (D2D) communication in a cellular spectrum increases the spectral and energy efficiency of local communication sessions, while also taking advantage of accessing licensed spectrum and higher transmit power levels than when using unlicensed bands. To realize the potential benefits of D2D communications, appropriate mode selection algorithms that select between the cellular and D2D communication modes must be designed. On the other hand, physical‐layer network coding (NWC) at a cellular base station—which can be used without D2D capability—can also improve the spectral efficiency of a cellular network that carries local traffic. In this paper, we ask whether cellular networks should support D2D communications, physical‐layer NWC, or both. To this end, we study the performance of mode selection algorithms that can be used in cellular networks that use physical‐layer NWC and support D2D communications. We find that the joint application of D2D communication and NWC scheme yields additional gains compared with a network that implements only one of these schemes, provided that the network implements proper mode selection and resource allocation algorithms. We propose 2 mode selection schemes that aim to achieve high signal‐to‐interference‐plus‐noise ratio and spectral efficiency, respectively, and take into account the NWC and D2D capabilities of the network.     

基于资源分配和功率控制的D2D中继选择

为优化蜂窝用户通信与设备直传(D2D)中继通信共存下的同频干扰问题,满足蜂窝用户容量要求,提出了一种基于能效的联合资源分配和功率控制的D2 D中继选择算法.该算法首先对等效D2 D中继链路进行资源分配,减小算法复杂度的同时使得D2 D链路对蜂窝链路产生的干扰最小;然后以资源分配结果和功率控制算法为依据进行中继选择.该方案不仅考虑了D2 D中继链路的能效问题,而且还同时考虑到了对蜂窝链路的干扰问题.通过仿真验证,所提算法不仅能有效提升D2 D中继链路的能效值,同时降低了对蜂窝用户的干扰.     

On the performance of interference cancelation in D2D‐enabled cellular networks

Device‐to‐device (D2D) communication underlaying cellular networks is a promising technology to improve network resource utilization. In D2D‐enabled cellular networks, interference among spectrum‐sharing links is severer than that in traditional cellular networks, which motivates the adoption of interference cancelation (IC) techniques at the receivers. However, to date, how IC can affect the performance of D2D‐enabled cellular networks is still unknown. In this paper, we present an analytical framework for studying the performance of two IC methods, that is, unconditional IC and successive IC, in large‐scale D2D‐enabled cellular networks using the tools from stochastic geometry. To facilitate the interference analysis, we propose an approach of stochastic equivalence of the interference, which converts the two‐tier interference (interference from the cellular tier and D2D tier) to an equivalent single‐tier interference. Based on the proposed stochastic equivalence models, we derive the general expressions for the successful transmission probabilities of both cellular uplinks and D2D links in the networks where unconditional IC and successive IC are respectively applied. We demonstrate how these IC methods affect the network performance using both analytical and numerical results. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Efficient target tracking in directional sensor networks with selective target area’s coverage

Device-to-Device (D2D) communication technology, under the standardization of third generation partnership project and a component of the evolving fifth generation architecture, is mainly aimed to increase system capacity and data rate via providing direct communications between end devices without the use of routing data through the network. Apart from the attracting features, due to the resource sharing between cellular user equipment (CUE) and D2D user equipment (DUE) in such communications, an efficient algorithm for resource and power allocation to DUE, especially for mobile users is necessary to maintain the performance. The current paper introduces a joint mode algorithm for mobile user to choose between cellular and D2D communications and thereby, analyzes resource allocation issues. We propose an efficient algorithm for mobility management of users based on their current connection modes. The locations of D2D pairs are estimated by Levenberg–Marquardt method based on the received signal strength (RSS) from different macrocells. Since the range of D2D communication is much shorter than that of cellular communication, in order to prevent ping-pong handoffs between cellular and D2D modes, we propose the estimation of the next RSS samples in cellular mode prior to switching to D2D mode. In both cellular and D2D modes, the allocated resource block (RB) is the one with the highest signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) in order to increase the throughput, under the condition of providing minimum SINR requirement of CUE. This is achieved via transmission power control of the D2D pair. For performance evaluation, we studied the effects of increasing velocity of D2D and cellular users, number of users, and SINR threshold. The results indicate that the proposed solution fairly manages the communication mode of mobile users and incurs improvement in system throughput.     

An intra–inter-cell device-to-device communication scheme to enhance 5G network throughput with delay modeling

As the number of mobile users is growing, so is the demand for more bandwidth. It becomes important that the required bandwidth and spectral resources do not scale with traffic in the next generation of wireless networks [i.e. fifth generation (5G)]. Device-to-device (D2D) communication underlaying cellular networks has been recognized as an essential technique in 5G networks. By applying definite principles and strategies, D2D communication not only increases the spectral and energy efficiency, but also enhances network throughput, network coverage and reduces delay. In this paper, we present an intra–inter-cell D2D communication scheme to enhance throughput of 5G networks. We study call setup delay of two developed communication scenarios and throughput gain comparing three systems. Firstly, we show the enhancements required in current cellular architectures to support inter-cell D2D communication. We develop protocols for two scenarios and demonstrate how architecture entities cooperate for the call setup between D2D users. We measure the overall call setup time for the developed protocols and derive a closed-form delay formula to estimate call setup time probability. Secondly, we perform simulations using a topology similar to that found in realistic urban environments to study throughput gains of the proposed intra–inter-cell D2D communication scheme. We compare three systems in terms of throughput: (1) pure cellular system (with cellular users only), (2) pure cellular system with intra-cell D2D users sharing the same cellular resource, and (3) pure cellular system with intra–inter-cell D2D users sharing the same cellular resource. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme substantially increases the network throughput and spectrum efficiency.

以underlay方式工作的D2D(Device-to-Device)通信通过资源共享复用蜂窝网络中的资源,在提高系统资源利用率的同时,对已有蜂窝链路带来了同频干扰。为了减小因无线资源复用带来的干扰,提出了一种资源分配与功率控制相结合的方法。以最小化系统干扰为目的,通过在D2 D链路之间合理地分配资源,保证了蜂窝链路的通信质量;同时动态地调整D2 D链路的发射功率,在保证相应蜂窝链路干扰可控的情况下,合理提高了D2 D链路的通信质量。仿真结果表明,与现有方案相比,所提出的算法能够有效地提高D2 D通信与蜂窝用户共存场景下的系统性能。     

基于安全中断概率的D2D安全接入策略

针对D2D蜂窝系统通信安全性受资源限制的问题,考虑到蜂窝链路和D2D链路的同频干扰能够为两者带来安全增益,基于此,提出一种基于安全中断概率的D2D用户接入策略。首先理论分析了蜂窝用户和D2D用户的安全中断概率,并给出了基于安全中断概率最小化的D2D用户功率优化算法。在上述分析的基础上,选择安全中断概率最小的D2D用户接入复用蜂窝用户的无线资源,同时提高D2D通信链路和蜂窝上行链路的安全性。最后,仿真结果证明了所提算法的有效性。     

Radio resource management scheme and outage analysis for network-assisted multi-hop D2D communications

In a cellular network it's very difficult to make spectrum resource more efficiently. Device-to-Device (D2D) technology enables new service opportunities, and provides high throughput and reliable communication while reducing the base station load. For better total performance, short-range D2D links and cellular links share the same radio resource and the management of interference becomes a crucial task. Here we argue that single-hop D2D technology can be used to further improve cellular networks performance if the key D2D radio resource management algorithms are suitably extended to support multi-hop D2D communications. Aiming to establish a new paradigm for the analysis and design of multi-hop D2D communications, We propose a radio resource allocation for multi-hop D2D routes based on interference avoidance approach in LTE-A networks. On top of that, we investigate the outage probability of D2D communication. We first introduce a new definition of outage probability by considering the maximum distance to be allowable for single-hop transmission. Then we study and analyze the outage performance of a multi-hop D2D route. We derive the general closed form expression of outage probability of the multi-hop D2D routes. The results demonstrate that the D2D radio, sharing the same resources as the cellular network, provide higher capacity compared to pure cellular communication where all the data is transmitted through the base station. They also demonstrate that the new method of calculation of D2D multi hop outage probability has better performance than classical method defined in the literature.

Research on the interference control and resource allocation in D2D communication

In order to solve the problem of interference caused by D2D users reuse cellular resources in cellular network,an algorithm of interference control and resource allocation of D2D communication in single cell cellular system was proposed.Firstly,an interference graph was constructed according to the interference between users in the system to find the reusable channel resource for D2D users.Then,the channel resource pre-allocation and the channel switching policy were performed for D2D users in sequence according to the preset D2D user priority.The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can significantly improve the system throughput and the access rate of D2D users so that the system can achieve better performance in the presence of small or large number of D2D users.     

基于用户中断概率的D2D通信干扰协调与资源分配

在LTE系统中引入设备直传(D2D)通信技术,会因为D2D用户复用蜂窝用户资源进行通信而产生同频干扰.在现有的干扰协调与资源分配研究中,都需要基站获取各个通信链路的信道状态信息(CSI),但这样无疑会增加基站的信令负担.为减小干扰与基站的信令负担,提出了一种基于用户中断概率的干扰协调与资源分配算法,首先在保证蜂窝用户正常通信的情况下,通过限制D2D用户到基站间的距离来降低干扰;其次通过遍历所有蜂窝用户的频谱资源,选择能使D2D用户的总中断概率最低的频谱资源进行复用.仿真结果表明,所提算法能够在保证蜂窝用户正常通信的情况下,明显降低D2D用户的平均中断概率,同时还能够降低基站信令负担.

Energy efficiency optimization for device‐to‐device communication underlaying cellular networks in millimeter‐wave

This paper studies energy efficiency maximization in device‐to‐device (D2D) communications underlaying cellular networks in millimeter‐wave (mm‐wave) band. A stochastic geometry framework has been used to extract the results. First, cellular and D2D users are modeled by independent homogeneous Poisson point process; then, exact expressions for successful transmission probability of D2D and cellular users have been derived. Furthermore, the average sum rate and energy efficiency for a typical D2D scenario have been presented. An optimization problem subject to transmission power and quality of service constraints for both cellular and D2D users has been defined, and energy efficiency of D2D communication is maximized. Simulation results reveal that by working in millimeter‐wave, significant energy efficiency improvement can be attained, e.g., 20% energy efficiency improvement compared with Rayleigh distribution in the practical scenarios by considering circuit power. Finally, to verify our analytical expressions, the simulation studies are carried out, and the excellent agreements have been achieved.
