Abstract
Recently, device-to-device (D2D) communications have been highlighted to improve the spectral efficiency and offer various user experiences in cellular networks. In this paper, we survey standards and literatures related to the D2D technology and address various advantages of D2D technology, and the problems to be resolved before practically implemented. Especially, by considering an important interference issue between cellular and D2D links, five resource allocation and interference management scenarios are provided and their performances are evaluated through the system level simulations. The simulation results show that the use of D2D significantly improve the cell capacity and the D2D user rate due to the effects of frequency reuse and data off-loading. Notably, it is also shown that an optimal D2D communication range exists to maximize the system performance.
