FFR-based resource allocation scheme for Device-to-Device communication

Abstract

Device-to-Device communication allows two cellular devices to communicate with each other without a base station. By relieving the base station from relaying data to and from different devices, D2D communication aims at increasing the system capacity. In a D2D enabled network, one of the critical issues is to effectively allocate frequency resource. In this paper, a resource allocation scheme has been proposed that increases the throughput of all devices by using Fractional Frequency Reuse.
