Dynamic Distributed Resource Sharing for Mobile D2D Communications

In this work, we propose a dynamic distributed resource sharing scheme which jointly considers mode selection, resource allocation, and power control in a unified framework for general D2D communications. First, we model the joint issue of mode selection and resource allocation as a hedonic coalition formation game, while accounting for the tradeoff between the benefits in terms of available rate and the costs in terms of the mutual interference. Moreover, we develop a coalition formation process based on the switch rule, through which each cellular user makes an individual and distributed decision to form a Nash-stable partition. Second, we view the members of each coalition as a whole, and formulate a power control problem to share the aim of maximizing the sum-rate of cellular links in this coalition. To solve this NP-hard problem with online operation, we present a power control process, which employs the local piecewise-linear approach to take a locally and separately approximate optimal outcome. Finally, we present a dynamic resource sharing algorithm, which iteratively operates the coalition formation and power control processes.
