Spectrum-Efficient Transmission Mode Selection for Full-Duplex-Enabled Two-Way D2D Communications

Device-to-device (D2D) communications and full-duplex (FD) communications, which can improve the spectrum efficiency (SE) of mobile communications, have received much attention. To further improve the SE, some researchers have begun to integrate FD into D2D communications, which will generate more transmission modes. Since different modes have different advantages and disadvantages, the mode selection problem needs further study. In this paper, we investigate the mode selection problem for FD-enabled two-way D2D communications to improve the SE. Four transmission modes, i.e., FD underlay mode, half-duplex (HD) underlay mode, FD overlay mode and HD overlay mode, are considered. For each mode, we maximize the system SE while fulfilling the minimum rate requirements and maximum transmit power constraints for both cellular and D2D users. For FD underlay mode, the optimization problem can be transformed into a difference of convex functions (D.C.) programming and the concave-convex procedure (CCCP) algorithm can solve the problem efficiently. For HD underlay mode and FD overlay mode, we can use search plus CCCP algorithm to solve the optimization problem. For HD overlay mode, we only need to search for the optimal solution. After obtaining the maximum SE of four modes, we can select the maximum one as the optimal mode. Numerical results are presented to illustrate the effects of the channel gains and self-interference cancellation ability on the maximum SE of four modes and the transmission mode selection.
