Reducing Interference Effects in Distributed D2D Communication Underlaying Multicell Cellular Communication Network Using Soft Fractional Frequency Reuse
Abstract
The interests of researchers in expanding network capacity and enhancing network quality have risen as a result of the growing demands for mobile multimedia traffics in cellular communication networks. Device-to-Device (D2D) communication has become a promising technology to enhance spectral efficiency and network capacity. However, since D2D devices share the frequency bandwidth with the traditional cellular networks, it causes interference problems. This paper proposes a soft Fractional Frequency Reuse (FFR) scheme to resolve the interference problems in such D2D communications. Extensive simulation experiment has been carried out. The performance of the system with proposed scheme is compared to a baseline system. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme is able to increase the value of SINR and throughput, achieving the values from 19.8 dB to 20.7 dB and from 66.1 to 68.8 Mbp, respectively. For CUE the scheme is able to provide an increase of 15.5% for SINR and 15% increase for throughput on downlink transmission.References
