Decentralized interference coordination for D2D communication underlying cellular Networks

A framework on decentralized interference coordination based on the pricing mechanism is developed for device-to-device (D2D) communication underlying cellular systems to guarantee quality of service (QoS) of both cellular users (CUs) and D2D links. We aim at coordinating two types of interference: inter-layer interference from D2D pairs to CUs and intra-layer interference among D2D pairs. The former is mitigated by the base station through setting a price on the channel being reused by D2D pairs while the latter is solved by a game-theoretic approach, in which the D2D pairs compete for the spectrum until a Nash Equilibrium (NE) is achieved. Finally, numerical results verify that the proposed distributed scheme is effective for the interference coordination and its performance is close to the centralized scheme.
