Based on the proposed scheme, the cell edge users intend to lease part of its spectrum resource to Device-to-Device transmission pairs. However, the Device-to-Device users have to provide the cooperative transmission assistance for the cell edge users in order to improve the Quality of Service of the uplink transmission from the cell edge users to the base station. Compared to the underlay spectrum-sharing scheme, overlay spectrum-sharing scheme may reduce spectrum efficiency. Hence, Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access technology is invoked at the Device-to-Device transmitter in order to improve the spectrum efficiency. The Stackelberg game is exploited to model the behaviours of the cell edge users and Device-to-Device devices. Moreover, based on matching theory, the cell edge users and Device-to-Device pairs form one-to-one matching and the stability of matching is analysed. The simulation results show that the proposed reciprocal-selection-based \u2018Win\u2013Win\u2019 overlay spectrum-sharing scheme is capable of providing considerable rate improvements for both EUs and D2D pairs and reducing transmit power dissipated by the D2D transmitter to forward data for the EU compared with the existing methods.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/a11110179","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,7]],"date-time":"2018-11-07T03:45:22Z","timestamp":1541562322000},"page":"179","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A Reciprocal-Selection-Based \u2018Win\u2013Win\u2019 Overlay Spectrum-Sharing Scheme for Device-to-Device-Enabled Cellular Network"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Peng","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electric and Information Engineering, Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, 219 Ninliu Road, Nanjing 210044, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chenchen","family":"Shu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electric and Information Engineering, Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, 219 Ninliu Road, Nanjing 210044, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2917-3127","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jiao","family":"Feng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electric and Information Engineering, Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, 219 Ninliu Road, Nanjing 210044, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"85","DOI":"10.1109\/MVT.2017.2782371","article-title":"Multicell Device-to-Device Communication: A Spectrum-Sharing and Densification Study","volume":"13","author":"Poulakis","year":"2018","journal-title":"IEEE Veh.
