【 摘 要 】

In this paper, the capacity improvement of full-duplex (FD) device-to-device (D2D) underlaying cellular networks (CNs) is analyzed. A single-cell environment is considered with one half-duplex (HD) base station, multiple HD cellular user equipments (CUEs), and one pair of FD D2D user equipments (DUEs). The BS is equipped with M multiple antennas, and one pair of FD DUEs is permitted to share the same resource with M out of K uplink HD CUEs, which will lead to a more complex interference environment. First, a novel interference-limited area-based (ILA-based) scheme is proposed to manage the co-channel interference from CN CUEs to FD DUEs. The ILA-based scheme does not allow the coexistence of HD CUEs and FD DUEs if the HD CUEs are located in any region of the two ILAs. Next, a senior ILA-based (SILA-based) scheme is proposed to reduce the complexity of the ILA-based scheme, in which only a common ILA is designed for both FD DUEs instead of the two ILAs in the ILA-based scheme. Then, the lower bounds of the ergodic capacity for FD D2D communications with imperfect self-interference cancellation (SIC) are derived in closed-forms with the ILA-based scheme and the SILA-based scheme. Furthermore, the capacity gain of the FD D2D communications is analyzed, and the numerical results show that the capacity improvement of the FD D2D communications is much greater than the traditional HD D2D communication if the sufficient SIC is achieved.
