Semi-Distributed Resource Selection for D2D Communication in LTE-A Network

Device-to-Device (D2D) communication underlaying cellular network has received much attention as a means to utilize cellular resources in a more efficient manner. Since D2D communication range is expected to be shorter than the normal cellular communication range, there are potential advantages such as reduced delay, reduced number of hops, improved spectral efficiency, and offloaded cellular traffic. In this paper, a semi- distributed resource selection scheme for D2D communication is proposed to efficiently reuse cellular resources. In addition, we propose interference avoidance scheme and D2D power control scheme to enhance D2D performance and minimize the degradation of cellular network performance, respectively. We demonstrate that the proposed semi-distributed algorithm outperforms the existing scheme by as much as 64% in terms of sum throughput of D2D users.
