Optimized Zone Design For Location-Based Resource Allocation In Mobile D2d Underlay Networks

Radio resource management plays a crucial role in the context of mobile Device-to-Device (D2D) communication with strict requirements on the quality of service. Addressing some of the faced issues we have previously defined a Location Dependent Resource Allocation Scheme (LDRAS). In this work we enhance its performance in heterogeneous radio propagation environments. To this end, we optimize the transmission parameters for D2D communication by employing sequential quadratic programming and formalize the definition of the underlying zone topology by means of hierarchical clustering. Moreover, we compare the performance of the enhanced LDRAS against a selected state-of-the-art reference scheme with respect to the reliability and availability requirements of automotive applications.
