A Study on D2D Communication for B4G System Capacity Enhancement Techniques

NSC 102-2221-E-009 -021

Introduction

In order to alleviate the burden of the base station, device-to-device (D2D)
Link Scheduling
communication has been widely explored since it not only possesses the proximity gain,
reuse gain, and hop gain but also can be operated in the 4G LTE system as well.

However, D2D communication may reuse the same frequency band as the original
mobile communication systems, which results in the non-negligible intra- and inter-cell
interferences.

Based on the structure of FlashLinQ first proposed by Qualcomm, we redesign the D2D
system and propose a realizable interference control technique to boost up the overall
system performance that makes the beyond 4G mobile communications more reliable.
