Abstract:
Spectrum resource sharing strategies for uncoordinated networks are investigated. The average capacity of 2-pair device-to-device (D2D) communication systems is derived, assuming a flat response of the frequency spectrum. Three different frequency allocation strategies are considered: (i) separate spectral allocation; (ii) full spectral allocation; and (iii) overlapped spectral allocation, considering deterministic and random locations of the communication devices. The analytical results, supported by simulations, show that at low to moderate received SNR the throughput assigned to each communication device can be enhanced by overlapping the frequency spectrum allocations.
