In D2D communications underlaying a multicell network, it is of primary importance to ensure coexistence of cellular links and D2D links with minimal interference. Therefore, resource allocation scheme for D2D links should be designed to limit the interference between cellular links and D2D links. In this paper, we propose an effective resource allocation scheme for multiple D2D links which share the uplink spectrum resource with cellular users in a multicell network. Under the assumption that the locations of users are known to the base station, the proposed scheme allocates cellular resources to D2D links, such that the interference between a cellular link and multiple D2D links is minimized. In particular, we compute two constants from the path loss model and then use the constants to protect both cellular and D2D links. Simulation results are provided to verify the performance of the proposed scheme.

In conventional single-tier networks, downlink based association is the best association scheme for the uplink association because all macro base stations have the same physical specification. However, in uplink heterogeneous cellular networks, a downlink based cell association cannot be the best for uplink any more because of the difference of physical specification between the different base station. In this paper, we will propose a uplink based cell association scheme, and devise performance metric for describing a uplink performance in heterogeneous cellular networks. Then, we will discuss the necessity of the uplink based association by observing outage probability, delay constraint outage probability, delay constraint outage capacity.

D2D (Device-to-Device) communication on an underlying cellular infrastructure which exploits the same spectrum has several advantages such as increased resource utilization and improved cellular coverage. However, D2D communication system needs to cope with ICI (Inter-Cell Interference) and interference between cellular and D2D links. As a result, macro UEs (User Equipments), especially those located near cell edge, will suffer from serious link performance degradation. We propose a novel interference avoidance mechanism assisted by SRN (Shared Relay Node) in this paper. SRN not only performs data re-transmission as a usual Type II relay but also has several features newly defined to avoid interference between cellular and D2D links. In particular, we suggest resource allocation methods based on the SRN for effective interference avoidance, and evaluate their performance through computer simulations.

Device-to-Device communication(D2D) enables devices in proximity to communicate directly without going through the network infrastructure. In particular, D2D communications in a cellular network can improve the spectral efficiency by allowing the reuse of cellular resources. However, it is not easy to maintain the channel quality of the D2D links and to protect the cellular links from the D2D interferences, since the resource allocations for the cellular users will change with time due to the time-varying nature of the cellular channels. To mitigate the performance degradation of D2D links, we propose to exploit unlicensed bands as auxiliary resources when the D2D links share the uplink cellular resources. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is verified through simulations.

본 논문에서는 계층적 구조를 가진 CDMA 셀룰러 시스템에서 여러 가지 자원 공유 방식들 중 주파수 공유 방식과 주파수 분할 방식의 용량을 순방향 링크에 대해 분석 비교하였다. 용량 분석은 마이크로셀 반경 및 마이크로셀 클러스터의 위치 및 매크로셀에 대한 마이크로셀의 전력 비를 고려하여 몬테카를로 시뮬레이션을 통해 수행하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과로부터 각각의 자원 공유 방식들에 대해 이러한 영향들을 분석하였고, 일반적인 설계 접근방식을 제시하였다. 또한 자원공유방식들의 성능을 용량평면도를 통해 비교하였다. 결과를 요약하면, 계층적 구조를 가진 CDMA 셀룰러 시스템에서 스펙트럼 공유 방식을 적용할 경우 순방향 링크의 용량을 최대로 하기 위해서는 마이크로셀 클러스터가 매크로셀의 중심으로부터 멀리 배치하고, 마이크로셀의 반경을 작게 하는 것이 바람직함을 알 수 있었다.

Device-to-device(D2D) links which share resources in a cellular network present a challenge in radio resource management due to the potentially severe interference they may cause to the cellular network. In this paper, a resource allocation scheme based on subset reuse methods is proposed to minimize the interference from the D2D links. We consider an adaptive group-wise subset reuse method to enhance the efficiency of frequency resource allocation for cellular and D2D links. A power optimization scheme is also proposed for D2D links if cellular links are interfered by adjacent D2D transmissions. The computer simulation results show that performance gain is obtained in link SINR, and total cell throughput increases as nearby traffic becomes more dominant.

In this paper, we analyze capacities of spectrum sharing scheme for both reverse link and forward link in hierachical CDMA cellular systems with Hot-spot microcell. Capacity analysis is performed through Monte-Carlo simulation by considering microcell radius, location of microcell. and transmission power ratio of microoell to macrocell. From simulation results, we analyzed these effects and derived a general design approach. In addition, the performance of spectrum sharing scheme for each link is analyzed in the capacity plane.

In this paper, for a relay-based cellular network, a interference avoidance beamforming technique is proposed to enhance direct link capacity while minimizing loss in the capacity of concurrent relaying link. A direct link is transmitted by beamforming at the transmitter, and the relaying link with the least interference to the direct link is scheduled to transmit data by a collision avoidance scheduling algorithm. Simulation results show that the proposed IA beamforming provides a considerable direct link capacity enhancement while minimizing relaying link capacity loss by effectively mitigating inference between concurrent direct and relaying links only with limited feedback.

Due to the recent development of mobile wireless telecommunication, RRHs(Remote Radio Heads) are widely being utilized to expand the cell coverage. Wire-link, an existing connection between DU(Digital Unit) and RRH through fiber cables, is considered to have limitations in relation to cost for a wide range of applications. This paper focuses on replacing the wire-link by wireless transmission using millimeter-wave, and implementing cellular network system through RRH from a remote location. After an influence element analysis on millimeter-wave wireless link transmissions, a comparative analysis between wireless link and an existing fiber link method will be made by utilizing currently commercialized LTE(Long Term Evolution), to prove the compatibility of millimeter-wave wireless link RRH method in replacing fiber link method without a significant decline in data transmission performance.

본 논문에서는 로그노말 분포된 전파음영 환경에서 통화의 신뢰도를 유지하기 위해 필요한 링크 마진을 경로손실과 전파음영의 감쇠를 포함하는 전파 손실 모델을 사용하여 분석하였다. CDMA 셀룰러 시스템에서 셀 반경이 커지게 되면 요구되는 링크 마진도 증가하게 되어 핸드오프이득은 요구되는 링크 마진만큼 감소하게 된다. 이러한 셀 영역과 링크 마진과의 관계를 하프 핸드오프와 소프트 핸드오프로 나누어 수치해석을 통해 살펴보았다. outage 확플이 0.1이고 셀 반경을 5-10% 증가시켰을 때 전력제어를 한 경우의 셀 영역비는 3.22 dB-3.99 dB, 전력제어를 하지 않은 경우의 셀 영역비는 2.55 dB-2.85 dB 만큼 증가하는 것을 알 수 있다.
