Priority-Driven Resource Allocation and Power Optimization in D2D Communication

Abstract

This research proposes priority-driven application-based channel assignment and power optimization frameworks called Channel State Information-based Resource Allocation (CSIRA) and Binary Search Power Control Mechanism (BSPCM) in D2D-enabled cellular communication. The CSIRA framework is cluster-based and uses a K-means clustering algorithm to group the D2D users into clusters. CSIRA allows the D2D users to share the cellular user's resources without compromising the cellular user's Quality of Service (QoS) in each cluster. Also, CSIRA ensures that public safety communication will get an edge over commercial communication during resource allocation. In order to ensure the QoS for cellular users is maintained while also enhancing the sum rate of D2D communication, the CSIRA employs the BSPCM framework. BSPCM framework utilizes a binary search algorithm to determine the optimal transmission power required for guaranteed D2D transmission within a cluster, thereby mitigating interference effects. A theoretical proof is provided to show that the suggested frameworks converge to a stable matching and end after a finite number of iterations. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed frameworks effectively prioritizes public safety over commercial applications while preserving optimal system efficiency and quality with minimal complications. © 2017 IEEE.
