Abstract
The Deferred Acceptance (DA) algorithm has often been used to study spectrum sharing and to solve the assignment problem of Device-to-Device (D2D) links co-existing with traditional cellular users. We present a new reward-based DA algorithm denoted as priced-DA or (p-DA) to improve reuse gains in scenarios where there are variations in the number of cellular users and D2D links and when there are variations in the length of the preference lists. Interference coordination is implemented by jointly managing the power allocation and quality of service (QoS) admission control based on the inter-distances between devices. Simulation case studies demonstrate the advantages of the presented p-DA technique in comparison to other tested centralised approaches.
