Auction Based Approach For Resource Allocation In D2D Communication

TL;DR

This paper proposes a new auction-based resource allocation scheme for device-to-device communication in small cell networks, aiming to enhance spectral efficiency and compare it with existing auction methods.

Contribution

Introduces a novel auction mechanism for D2D resource allocation and compares its performance with the traditional Reverse Iterative Combinatorial Auction.

Findings

The new auction method improves sum rate over SINR compared to R-ICA.

The new scheme supports a higher number of D2D users.

Performance plots demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Abstract

Device to device communication has prevailed as an issue for small cell networks. Here we have implemented a new scheme that allows us to improve spectral capabilities of mobiles communicating with each other (peer to peer network) for downlink cellular network. Previously the spectral capabilities were handled by Reverse Iterative combinatorial auction mechanism, where the cellular uses used to bid for d2d links. We have made a comparison between Reverse Iterative combinatorial Auction (R-ICA) and New Auction method on the basis of plots on sum rate over SINR and number of d2d users.
