Greedy Based Radio Resource Allocation Algorithm with SARSA Power Control Scheme in D2D Underlaying Communication

Abstract

Device-to-Device (D2D) underlaying communication system is a solution in reducing the workload of eNodeB and increasing the system data rate. This communication system consists of two users, namely Cellular User Equipment (CUE) and D2D pair, where CUE will share its resources with the D2D pair. This sharing resources also causes interference and should be managed using the resource allocation algorithm. In this work, the resource allocation scheme occurs in a single cell with an uplink communication direction. The resource allocation process uses greedy and joint greedy algorithms. After CUE allocates all of its resources, SARSA algorithm performs the power allocation process. The resource allocation process involves the scheduled CUE and D2D pair. After all the resource and power are allocated, parameter performance of the system is calculated. Based on the work results, joint greedy algorithm with power allocation using SARSA algorithm have performance results 1.375 × 10⁷ bps/Watt in energy efficiency, 43.105 bps/Hz in spectral efficiency, and 0.993 in D2D fairness index.
