## Abstract

This paper considers the joint power control and resource allocation for a device-to-device (D2D) underlay cellular system with a multi-antenna BS employing ADCs with different resolutions. We propose a four-step algorithm that optimizes the ADC resolution profile at the base station (BS) to reduce the energy consumption and perform joint power control and resource allocation of D2D communication users (DUEs) and cellular users (CUEs) to improve the D2D reliability.
