Capacity analysis of Device-to-Device resource reusing modes for cellular networks

It is quite important for Device-to-Device (D2D) communication to make decision in selecting which part of the celluar radio resource, namely uplink (UL) resource or downlink (DL) resource, to be reused for the purpose of higher system capacity. In this paper, we propose an interference control scheme in DL mode to limit the base station's (BS) interference to D2D user equipments (DUEs) by selecting cellular user equipments (CUEs) nearer to BS. By comparing the interference control scheme used in UL situation, we derived the two lower bounds of ergodic capacity of reusing UL and DL resource in D2D communication. Numeric results show that the system capacity can be optimized by utilizing effective reusing mode selection strategies.
