Abstract
We consider two-hop Device-to-device (D2D) relaying in
multi-cell downlink networks. D2D relaying is envisioned
to be a promising cell coverage extension technique,
which can provide improved cell-edge performance without
a dense infrastructure deployment. Relaying complicates
the resource allocation and interference management in
multi-cell networks. We first study the aggregate
co-channel interference characteristics when D2D relaying
is applied. A fluid network model is used to analyze the
inter-cell interference in a multi-cell network with a
minimum inter-base station distance. We develop a model
for capturing the interaction between relaying decisions
made in the own cell and inter-cell interference created
to other cells. We investigate network steady state, and
optimize key parameters for network-level management.
Both simulation and analysis results are provided to help
to understand the performance of D2D relaying.
