Transmission Policies for Interference Management in Full-Duplex D2D Communication

Full-Duplex (FD) wireless and Device-to-Device
(D2D) communication are two promising technologies that aspire
to enhance the spectrum and energy efficiency of wireless
networks, thus fulfilling key requirements of the 5th generation
(5G) of mobile networks. Both technologies, however, generate
excessive interference, which, if not managed effectively, threatens
to compromise system performance. To this direction, we propose
two transmission policies that enhance the communication of two
interfering FD-enabled D2D pairs, derived from game theory and
optimization theory. The game-theoretic policy allows the pairs to
choose their transmission modes independently and the optimal
policy to maximize their throughput, achieving significant gains
when the pairs interfere strongly with each other.
