Link scheduling schemes with on‐off interference map for device‐to‐device communications

Trellis Tone Modulation Multiple-Access for Peer Discovery in D2D Networks

“…D2D communication can solve the traffic overload problem by distributing concentrated traffic to the core network. Thus, D2D communications have attracted attention and have been actively studied in academia and industry [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ]. Already, the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has been standardized as Proximity Services (ProSe) [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ] and Sidelink [ 15 ] to include D2D communication functions.…”

Interference mitigation and D2D parameter estimation for distributed‐control D2D underlay systems

“…Such a burden can be alleviated by a distributed‐control mechanism, in which a BS takes charge of the resource management of its cellular devices, and a D2D device selects its own resource without a small‐scale control of the BS. When a distributed‐control scheme is used, D2D devices can avoid the interference from other D2D devices by carrier sensing and contention‐based random access schemes . However, they cannot eliminate or avoid the interference from cellular devices because they do not have any information on the packet scheduling of cellular devices.…”

“…Because of the difficulty in the interference management, most of conventional D2D underlay approaches are based on centralised control . Even though a few distributed schemes can be found in the literature , most of them have problems in extending to more practical cases of D2D underlay systems, in which information passing between devices is limited and the interferences among multiple devices across multiple cells need to be considered. For example, a single‐cell environment is considered in some schemes .…”

“…For example, a single‐cell environment is considered in some schemes . Some methods exclude the resource sharing of cellular and D2D devices and do not take care of the interference to and from the cellular systems . In other words, they are not D2D underlay schemes.…”

SINBADLinQ: SINR based distributed link scheduling for device‐to‐device networks

“…. , i − 1} should be used when global scheduling information (GSI) is not available on all devices; the no-GSI condition is more plausible because GSI costs a large overhead [6].…”
