Abstract

With the explosive growth of multitudinous wireless services and high-data-rate required applications, relay aided Device-to-Device (D2D) communications have attracted increasing attentions. In this paper, we investigate the performance trade-off in relay aided D2D-cellular networks, where D2D users reuse the resource of cellular uplink transmissions. To optimize the performance of relay aided D2D communications, we firstly study the trade-off between spectral efficiency (SE) and energy efficiency, and propose a source-relay joint power allocation scheme. The optimal transmit powers for both source and relay users are derived, based on which we further introduce a SE-variation function to explicitly evaluate the impact of enabling D2D communications on D2D-cellular networks. Theoretical analysis and simulation results demonstrate the viability of the proposed scheme and provide comprehensive insights into the coexistence of different systems.
