Performance Comparison of Practical Resource Allocation Schemes for Device-to-Device Communications

Figure 3

An example of a D2D transmission with resource reuse. The D2D Tx node communicates directly with the D2D Rx node sharing a PRB with the cellular user UE. The shared PRB is selected in a way that minimizes an estimate of the intracell interference that D2D communication might perceive (related to the gain between the UE and the D2D Rx node) and produce (related to the gain between the D2D Tx node and the BS); see (9).
