  Abstract

In this paper, the use of an amplify-and-forward (AF) helper station in a cellular network with device-to-device (D2D) communication links is considered to enhance D2D rates and control the interference caused by D2D users to the cellular network. Two design criteria for the AF helper station are considered to improve the overall system quality-of-service (QoS). One is maximization of the worst D2D user rate under a constraint on interference caused by D2D users to the cellular network and the other is its dual, i.e., minimization of interference caused by D2D users to the cellular network with minimum rate guarantee for each D2D user. It is shown that the considered problems reduce to semi-definite programming (SDP) problems. Numerical results show that the proposed AF helper station significantly improves the system performance.
