Abstract

For D2D communications underlaying cellular networks, it is essential to consider the mutual interference between the existing cellular communications and D2D communications as well as the spectral efficiency, as they need to share the same frequency. Accordingly, a resource allocation scheme should be designed in such a way that minimizes the mutual interference and maximizes the spectrum utilization efficiency at the same time. In this paper, we propose a resource allocation scheme based on cooperation of the base station and D2D terminals. Specifically, a D2D terminal senses the cellular spectrum to recognize the interference condition, chooses the best cellular resource, and reports the information to the base station. The base station allocates D2D resource such that the corresponding D2D link and cellular link share the same resource. The performance of the proposed resource allocation scheme is ated through compu under 3GPP LTE-Advanced scenarios.

셀룰러 네트워크에서 D2D 통신을 지원하기 위해서는 기존의 셀룰러 통신과 D2D 통신이 셀룰러 자원을 공유하므로 주파수 효율성과 간섭에 대한 고려가 반드시 필요하다. 따라서 D2D 통신을 위한 자원할당은 셀룰러 통신과의 간섭을 최소화하면서 동시에 주파수 재사용에 따른 스펙트럼 이용 효율을 최대화하는 것이 바람직하다. 본 논문에서는 D2D 단말과 기지국이 상호 협력적인 방법으로 D2D 자원을 할당하는 기법을 제안한다. D2D 단말은 스펙트럼 센싱을 통해 셀룰러 단말과 다른 D2D 단말로부터 오는 간섭을 인지하여 최적의 셀룰러 자원을 선택하여 기지국에 보고한다. 기지국은 해당 셀룰러 단말과 D2D 단말이 동일한 자원을 공유하도록 자원할당을 함으로써 간섭의 영향을 최소화한다. 3GPP LTE (Long Term Evolution)-Advanced 환경에서 모의실험을 통해 제안한 자원할당 기법의 성능을 검증한다.
