Interference Mitigation and Mobility Management for D2D Communication in LTE-A Networks

Abstract

Interference and Mobility management are the main parameters which affect the signal capacity and reduce the transmission efficiency for D2D communication in LTE-A networks. When the users are in the same spectrum, due to the coexistence of D2D pairs and cellular users interference management becomes a critical issue. In this paper, we introduce an interference management algorithm that maximizes the performance of D2D communication in LTE-A networks for both uplink and downlink transmissions. Optimal routing selection techniques reduce the total path distance which helps to minimize the interference and improve the overall network capacity. Mobility management is also a challenging issue in IP-mobile networks. When two DUEs change their locations from one BS to the other, handover delay calculation becomes very important to maintain the communication without interruption. In this paper we show power control techniques which helps to reduce the effect of interference and also we addressed a method for the lower delay under complex mobility issues with uninterrupted D2D communication.
