Abstract
Device-to-device (D2D) communications is a promising candidate for increasing the throughput of cellular systems towards 5G. Its current consideration for inclusion in LTE-A is attracting a lot of research interest, including work on mode selection, bandwidth allocation, and power control. Some consider the uplink for D2D operation while others focus on operation over the downlink. It is still unclear, however, which link is preferable for D2D operation. This paper addresses this issue focusing on the outage performance of D2D receivers. We use stochastic geometry tools for our analysis, considering realistic system parameters and Nakagami fading. We find that the interference from the cellular system on the downlink, which is correlated over consecutive time slots, favors underlay D2D operation, resulting in a lower outage probability for the D2D transmissions.
