Outage Probability Analysis for D2D-Enabled Heterogeneous Cellular Networks with Exclusion Zone:A Stochastic Geometry Approach

Interference management is one of the most important issues in the device-to-device(D2D)-enabled heterogeneous cellular networks(HetCNets)due to the coexistence of massive cellular and D2D devices in which D2D devices reuse the cellular spectrum.To alleviate the interference,an efficient interference management way is to set exclusion zones around the cellular receivers.In this paper,we adopt a stochastic geometry approach to analyze the outage probabilities of cellular and D2D users in the D2D-enabled HetCNets.The main difficulties contain three aspects:1)how to model the location randomness of base stations,cellular and D2D users in practical networks;2)how to capture the randomness and interrelation of cellular and D2D transmissions due to the existence of random exclusion zones;3)how to characterize the different types of interference and their impacts on the outage probabilities of cellular and D2D users.We then run extensive Monte-Carlo simulations which manifest that our theoretical model is very accurate.

Graph neural network-based scheduling for multi-UAV-enabled communications in D2D networks

In this paper,we jointly design the power control and position dispatch for Multi-Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV)-enabled communication in Device-to-Device(D2D)networks.Our objective is to maximize the total transmission rate of Downlink Users(DUs).Meanwhile,the Quality of Service(QoS)of all D2D users must be satisfied.We comprehensively considered the interference among D2D communications and downlink transmissions.The original problem is strongly non-convex,which requires high computational complexity for traditional optimization methods.And to make matters worse,the results are not necessarily globally optimal.In this paper,we propose a novel Graph Neural Networks(GNN)based approach that can map the considered system into a specific graph structure and achieve the optimal solution in a low complexity manner.Particularly,we first construct a GNN-based model for the proposed network,in which the transmission links and interference links are formulated as vertexes and edges,respectively.Then,by taking the channel state information and the coordinates of ground users as the inputs,as well as the location of UAVs and the transmission power of all transmitters as outputs,we obtain the mapping from inputs to outputs through training the parameters of GNN.Simulation results verified that the way to maximize the total transmission rate of DUs can be extracted effectively via the training on samples.Moreover,it also shows that the performance of proposed GNN-based method is better than that of traditional means.

Federated learning based QoS-aware caching decisions in fog-enabled internet of things networks

Quality of Service(QoS)in the 6G application scenario is an important issue with the premise of the massive data transmission.Edge caching based on the fog computing network is considered as a potential solution to effectively reduce the content fetch delay for latency-sensitive services of Internet of Things(IoT)devices.Considering the time-varying scenario,the machine learning techniques could further reduce the content fetch delay by optimizing the caching decisions.In this paper,to minimize the content fetch delay and ensure the QoS of the network,a Device-to-Device(D2D)assisted fog computing network architecture is introduced,which supports federated learning and QoS-aware caching decisions based on time-varying user preferences.To release the network congestion and the risk of the user privacy leakage,federated learning,is enabled in the D2D-assisted fog computing network.Specifically,it has been observed that federated learning yields suboptimal results according to the Non-Independent Identical Distribution(Non-IID)of local users data.To address this issue,a distributed cluster-based user preference estimation algorithm is proposed to optimize the content caching placement,improve the cache hit rate,the content fetch delay and the convergence rate,which can effectively mitigate the impact of the Non-IID data set by clustering.The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm provides a considerable performance improvement with better learning results compared with the existing algorithms.

Smart Caching for QoS-Guaranteed Device-to-Device Content Delivery

Caching at user equipment(UE) provides a feasible way for device-to-device(D2D) content delivery among proximal users without deploying additional infrastructures. To support D2D content delivery for mobile traffics with quality-of-service(QoS) requirements, smart caching problem is essential to be solved especially when there is no prior knowledge on demands of proximal users. In this paper, impacts of Qo S requirements and limited caching capacity on UE caching are analyzed, respectively, based on which a caching scheme is proposed. With the proposed caching scheme, UE can determine whether caching a content or not intelligently to guarantee a content request via D2D communications in the network. Simulation results are presented which verify the analyzed influencing factors on D2D caching and the proposed QoS-provisioning caching scheme.

Resource allocation method for device-to-device communications in cellular networks

Based on the conflict graph model which is formulated as a binary integer optimization problem, a resource allocation method to support device-to-device （D2D） communications in ceUular networks is proposed. First, a frequency resource assignment algorithm is presented which assigns each D2D link one frequency resource block. For this algorithm, frequency resource blocks are assigned so that the frequency resource spatial reuse opportunities in the cellular networks can be fully exploited. Then a slot scheduling algorithm is presented which schedules time slots among D2D links assigned the same frequency resource block. For this algorithm, time slot resources are scheduled so that the proportional fairness among D2D links which are assigned the same frequency resource block can be achieved. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated via computer simulations. The simulation results show that the proposed method can well support D2D communications in cellular networks.

Ergodic capacity analysis for device-to-device communication underlaying cellular networks

The ergodic capacity of device-to-device （D2D） communication underlaying cellular networks is analyzed. First,the D2D communication model is introduced and the interference during uplink period and downlink period is analyzed.In a D2D communication system,since it is very difficult to obtain the instantaneous channel state information （CSI）,assume that only the transmitters know the statistical CSI and the channel coefficient follows an independent complex Gaussian distribution.Based on the assumptions,for the uplink period,the signal to interference plus noise ratio （SINR）of the D2D user equipments（DUEs）is expressed. Then the cumulative distribution function （CDF ） and probability distribution function （PDF）formulae of the SINR of the DUEs are presented.Based on the SINR formulae during the uplink period,the ergodic capacity formula of the uplink period is derived. Subsequently, using the same methods,the ergodic capacity formula of the downlink period is derived.The simulation results show that the DUEs can still obtain a high ergodic capacity even in the case of a large number of DUEs.This result can be applied to the design and optimization of D2D communications.

Performance analysis of graph-based scheduling for device-to-device communications overlaying cellular networks

The performance of the graph-based scheduling for device-to-device communications overlaying cellular networks is studied. The graph-based scheduling consists of two stages, the frequency assignment stage and the time slot scheduling stage. For such scheduling, a theoretical method to analyze the average spectrum efficiency of the D2D subsystem is proposed. The method consists of three steps. First, the frequency assignment stage is analyzed and the approximate formula of the average number of the D2D links which are assigned the same frequency is derived. Secondly, the time slot scheduling stage is analyzed and the approximate formula of the average probability of a D2D link being scheduled in a time slot is derived. Thirdly, the average spectrum efficiency of the D2D subsystem is analyzed and the corresponding approximate formula is derived. Analysis results show that the average spectrum efficiency of the D2D subsystem is approximately inversely linearly proportional to the second- order origin moment of the normalized broadcast radius of D2D links. Simulation results show that the proposed method can correctly predict the average spectrum efficiency of the D2D subsystem.

Analysis on D2D Heterogeneous Networks with State-Dependent Priority Traffic

In this work,we consider the performance analysis of state dependent priority traffic and scheduling in device to device(D2D)heterogeneous networks.There are two priority transmission types of data in wireless communication,such as video or telephone,which always meet the requirements of high priority(HP)data transmission first.If there is a large amount of low priority(LP)data,there will be a large amount of LP data that cannot be sent.This situation will cause excessive delay of LP data and packet dropping probability.In order to solve this problem,the data transmission process of high priority queue and low priority queue is studied.Considering the priority jump strategy to the priority queuing model,the queuing process with two priority data is modeled as a two-dimensionalMarkov chain.A state dependent priority jump queuing strategy is proposed,which can improve the discarding performance of low priority data.The quasi birth and death process method(QBD)and fixed point iterationmethod are used to solve the causality,and the steady-state probability distribution is further obtained.Then,performance parameters such as average queue length,average throughput,average delay and packet dropping probability for both high and low priority data can be expressed.The simulation results verify the correctness of the theoretical derivation.Meanwhile,the proposed priority jump queuing strategy can significantly improve the drop performance of low-priority data.

Efcient Algorithms for Cache-Throughput Analysis in Cellular-D2D 5G Network

In this paper,we propose a two-tiered segment-based Device-toDevice(S-D2D)caching approach to decrease the startup and playback delay experienced by Video-on-Demand(VoD)users in a cellular network.In the S-D2D caching approach cache space of each mobile device is divided into two cache-blocks.The rst cache-block reserve for caching and delivering the beginning portion of the most popular video les and the second cacheblock caches the latter portion of the requested video les‘fully or partially’depending on the users’video watching behaviour and popularity of videos.In this approach before caching,video is divided and grouped in a sequence of xed-sized fragments called segments.To control the admission to both cacheblocks and improve the system throughput,we further propose and evaluate three cache admission control algorithms.We also propose a video segment access protocol to elaborate on how to cache and share the video segments in a segmentation based D2D caching architecture.We formulate an optimisation problem and nd the optimal cache probability and beginning-segment size that maximise the cache-throughput probability of beginning-segments.To solve the non-convex cache-throughout maximisation problem,we derive an iterative algorithm,where the optimal solution is derived in each step.We used extensive simulations to evaluate the performance of our proposed S-D2D caching system.

On Cost Minimization for Cache-Enabled D2D Networks with Recommendation

To accommodate the tremendous increase of mobile data traffic,cache-enabled device-to-device(D2D)communication has been taken as a promising technique to release the heavy burden of cellular networks since popular contents can be pre-fetched at user devices and shared among subscribers.As a result,cellular traffic can be offloaded and an enhanced system performance can be attainable.However,due to the limited cache capacity of mobile devices and the heterogeneous preferences among different users,the requested contents are most likely not be proactively cached,inducing lower cache hit ratio.Recommendation system,on the other hand,is able to reshape users’request schema,mitigating the heterogeneity to some extent,and hence it can boost the gain of edge caching.In this paper,the cost minimization problem for the social-aware cache-enabled D2D networks with recommendation consideration is investigated,taking into account the constraints on the cache capacity budget and the total number of recommended files per user,in which the contents are sharing between the users that trust each other.The minimization problem is an integer non-convex and non-linear programming,which is in general NP-hard.Therewith,we propose a timeefficient joint recommendation and caching decision scheme.Extensive simulation results show that the proposed scheme converges quickly and significantly reduces the average cost when compared with various benchmark strategies.

Optimal Resource Allocation Method for Device-to-Device Communication in 5G Networks

With the rapid development of the next-generation mobile network,the number of terminal devices and applications is growing explosively.Therefore,how to obtain a higher data rate,wider network coverage and higher resource utilization in the limited spectrum resources has become the common research goal of scholars.Device-to-Device(D2D)communication technology and other frontier communication technologies have emerged.Device-to-Device communication technology is the technology that devices in proximity can communicate directly in cellular networks.It has become one of the key technologies of the fifth-generation mobile communications system(5G).D2D communication technology which is introduced into cellular networks can effectively improve spectrum utilization,enhance network coverage,reduce transmission delay and improve system throughput,but it would also bring complicated and various interferences due to reusing cellular resources at the same time.So resource management is one of the most challenging and importing issues to give full play to the advantages of D2D communication.Optimal resource allocation is an important factor that needs to be addressed in D2D communication.Therefore,this paper proposes an optimization method based on the game-matching concept.The main idea is to model the optimization problem of the quality-of-experience based on user fairness and solve it through game-matching theory.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm effectively improved the resource allocation and utilization as compared with existing algorithms.

Resource Allocation and Optimization in Device-to-Device Communication 5G Networks

The next-generation wireless networks are expected to provide higher capacity,system throughput with improved energy efficiency.One of the key technologies,to meet the demand for high-rate transmission,is deviceto-device(D2D)communication which allows users who are close to communicating directly instead of transiting through base stations,and D2D communication users to share the cellular user chain under the control of the cellular network.As a new generation of cellular network technology,D2D communication technology has the advantages of improving spectrum resource utilization and improving system throughput and has become one of the key technologies that have been widely concerned in the industry.However,due to the sharing of cellular network resources,D2D communication causes severe interference to existing cellular systems.One of the most important factors in D2D communication is the spectrum resources utilization and energy consumption which needs considerable attention from research scholars.To address these issues,this paper proposes an efficient algorithm based on the idea of particle swarm optimization.The main idea is to maximize the energy efficiency based on the overall link optimization of D2D user pairs by generating an allocation matrix of spectrum and power.The D2D users are enabled to reuse multiple cellular user’s resources by enhancing their total energy efficiency based on the quality of service constraints and the modification of location and speed in particle swarm.Such constraint also provides feasibility to solve the original fractional programming problem.Simulation results indicate that the proposed scheme effectively improved the energy efficiency and spectrum utilization as compared with other competing alternatives.

Device-to-Device Based Cooperative Relaying for 5G Network:A Comparative Review

Due to the proliferation of mobile internet access, the cellu-lar traffic is envisaged to experience a 1000-fold growth inthe second decade of the 21 st century. To meet such a hugetraffic demand, the Fifth Generation(5G) network have toadopt new techniques to substantially increase spectral effi-ciency and reliability. At the base station side, available re-sources(power supply, equipment size, processing capability,etc.) are far more sufficient than that of the terminal side,which imposes a high challenge on the uplink transmission.The concept of cooperative communications opens a possibili-ty of using multiple terminals to cooperatively achieve spa-tial diversity that is typically obtained by means of multipleantennas in the base station. The application of Device-to-Device(D2D) communications in the 3GPP LTE system fur-ther pushes the collaboration of terminals from the theory tothe practice. The utilization of D2D-based cooperative relay-ing is promising in the era of 5G. In this paper, we compara-tively study several cooperative multi-relay schemes, includ-ing the proposed opportunistic space-time coding, in thepresence of imperfect channel state information. The numeri-cal results reveal that the proposed scheme is the best coop-erative solution until now from the perspective of multiplex-ing-diversity tradeoff.

A Combining Call Admission Control and Power Control Scheme for D2D Communications Underlaying Cellular Networks

As device-to-device(D2D) communications usually reuses the resource of cellular networks, call admission control(CAC) and power control are crucial problems. However in most power control schemes, total data rates or throughput are regarded as optimization criterion. In this paper, a combining call admission control(CAC) and power control scheme under guaranteeing QoS of every user equipment(UE) is proposed. First, a simple CAC scheme is introduced. Then based on the CAC scheme, a combining call admission control and power control scheme is proposed. Next, the performance of the proposed scheme is evaluated. Finally, maximum DUE pair number and average transmitting power is calculated. Simulation results show that D2 D communications with the proposed combining call admission control and power control scheme can effectively improve the maximum DUE pair number under the premise of meeting necessary QoS.

Fuzzy mathematics and game theory based D2D multicast network construction

Device to device(D2 D) multi-hop communication in multicast networks solves the contradiction between high speed requirements and limited bandwidth in regional data sharing communication services. However, most networking models demand a large control overhead in eNodeB. Moreover, the topology should be calculated again due to the mobility of terminals, which causes the long delay. In this work, we model multicast network construction in D2 D communication through a fuzzy mathematics and game theory based algorithm. In resource allocation, we assume that user equipment(UE) can detect the available frequency and the fuzzy mathematics is introduced to describe an uncertain relationship between the resource and UE distributedly, which diminishes the time delay. For forming structure, a distributed myopic best response dynamics formation algorithm derived from a novel concept from the coalitional game theory is proposed, in which every UE can self-organize into stable structure without the control from eNodeB to improve its utilities in terms of rate and bit error rate(BER) while accounting for a link maintenance cost, and adapt this topology to environmental changes such as mobility while converging to a Nash equilibrium fast. Simulation results show that the proposed architecture converges to a tree network quickly and presents significant gains in terms of average rate utility reaching up to 50% compared to the star topology where all of the UE is directly connected to eNodeB.

An Advanced Spectrum Allocation Algorithm for The Across-Cell D2D Communication in LTE Network with Higher Throughput

In the hybrid LTE cellular network with D2D(Device-to-Device) communication, D2D communication technologies can improve the spectral efficiency significantly. However, the D2D users have to reutilize the spectrum which is allocated to the cellular users. Therefore, the co-channel interference will be more complicated in the case of crosscell D2D communications. In this article, a novel spectrum allocation algorithm for inter-cell D2D communication considering the traffic load is proposed. The traffic load can be balanced by the proposed algorithm. Meanwhile D2D users can multiplex the spectrum allocated to a number of cellular users with a certain percentage to meet the requirements of Qo S of D2D communications and reduce the interference to cellular users. Finally, the simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can meet the needs of D2D users, balance the traffic load and improve the overall throughput of the system.

Energy-Efficient Resource Allocation for Heterogeneous Network with Grouping D2D

In this paper,a new communication model is built named grouping D2D(GD2D).Different from the traditional D2D coordination,we proposed GD2D communication in licensed and unlicensed spectrum simultaneously.We formulate a resource allocation problem,which aims at maximizing the energy efficiency(EE)of the system while guaranteeing the quality-of-service(Qos)of users.To efficiently solve this problem,the non-convex optimization problem is first transformed into a convex optimization problem.By transforming the fractional-form problem into an equivalent subtractive-form problem,an iterative power allocation algorithm is proposed to maximize the system EE.Moreover,the optimal closedform power allocation expressions are derived by the Lagrangian approach.Simulation results show that our algorithm achieves higher EE performance than the traditional D2D communication scheme.
