Resource management with device-device communication in next generation cellular networks
First Claim
1. A wireless communication system operating as part of a larger network, said wireless communication system comprising:
- base stations each having a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer readable instructions which when executed by a processor incorporated into each base station facilitate communications as device-to-device D2D or cellular with cellular being interior or exterior in each sector of the wireless communication system,the processor coupled to read only storage and random access storage resources and having inputs and outputs, the processor executing computer readable instructions to provide resource capability in time division and frequency division duplexing wireless communication systems,based on a history from previous epochs, the processor estimating at the beginning of every epoch an average traffic or resource demand from cellular and device-to-device traffic in each sector, said resource demand (R′
) for a current epoch in sector j being determined by the processor as a weighted moving average according to the following relationship;
R′
j,xyz(t)=α
Rj,xyz(t−
1)+(1−
α
)R′
j,xyz(t−
1)where x={CELLULAR, D2D} traffic;
y={interior, exterior} traffic; and
z={downlink, uplink}traffic in sector j;
the processor partitioning the network into disjoint small clusters of interfering sectors called cross sectors and utilizing device-to-device traffic to determine dynamic fractional frequency reuse patterns to downlink and uplink jointly for each of the clusters in a distributed and localized manner; and
the base stations operating according to the determined fractional frequency reuse patterns for each sector in the cluster in downlink and uplink directions.

Abstract
At the beginning of every epoch the invention estimates the average traffic demand from cellular and device-to-device traffic in each sector in either DL or UL directions based on history from previous epochs. It partitions the network into interfering sectors and employing device-to-device traffic to determine the dynamic fractional frequency reuse FFR patterns for each of these clusters. Then, in every frame, for the set of sectors co-located at the same base station and instantaneous traffic demands, the invention solves the problem of device-to-device traffic placement and scheduling of cellular and device-to-device traffic jointly.
