Sector-Based Radio Resource Allocation (SBRRA) Algorithm for Better Quality of Service and Experience in Device-to-Device (D2D) Communication

The mounting content sharing among users has resulted in a considerable rise in wireless data traffic, pressurizing the cellular networks to undergo a suitable upheaval. A competent technology of the fifth-generation networks (5G) for efficiently supporting proximity-based applications is Device-to-Device (D2D) communication, underlaying cellular networks. Significant advances have been made till date, for allocating resources to D2D users in cellular networks, such that sharing of spectral resources between cellular and D2D users is carried out in a coordinated manner. In this paper, a sector-based radio resource allocation (SBRRA) algorithm for resource block allocation to D2D pairs has been proposed, where the number of resource blocks (RBs) is allocated to each D2D pair in an adaptive manner, based on the demanded application by each pair. Different applications demand a varying number of RBs, in accordance with their priority. This algorithm focusses on the use of sectored antennas at the base station, for a better performance and low complexity. Extensive simulations are carried out, considering real-time scenario, for ensuring satisfactory Quality of Service (QoS) and Quality of Experience (QoE) by the users. The efficiency of the proposed scheme is proved by comparing it with the RB allocation using Hidden Markov Model (HMM).

Device-to-Device Communication in Cellular Networks: A Survey

A constant need to increase the network capacity for meeting the growing demands of the subscribers has led to the evolution of cellular communication networks from the first generation (1G) to the fifth generation (5G). There will be billions of connected devices in the near future. Such a large number of connections are expected to be heterogeneous in nature, demanding higher data rates, lesser delays, enhanced system capacity and superior throughput. The available spectrum resources are limited and need to be flexibly used by the mobile network operators (MNOs) to cope with the rising demands. An emerging facilitator of the upcoming high data rate demanding next generation networks (NGNs) is device-to-device (D2D) communication. An extensive survey on device-to-device (D2D) communication has been presented in this paper, including the plus points it offers, the key open issues associated with it like peer discovery, resource allocation etc, demanding special attention of the research community, some of its integrant technologies like millimeter wave D2D (mmWave), ultra dense networks (UDNs), cognitive D2D, handover procedure in D2D and its numerous use cases. Architecture is suggested aiming to fulfill all the subscriber demands in an optimal manner. The Appendix mentions some ongoing standardization activities and research projects of D2D communication.
