In this paper, we propose a resource allocation and power control technique in which two-pairs of D2D users can simultaneously share same uplink cellular resource. In this case, interference between D2D users and cellular users is no longer insignificant so it must be properly handled. The proposed scheme considers fractional frequency reuse (FFR) scheme as a promising method that can relatively reduce the intra-cell interference. The main objective of the proposed scheme is to maximize the D2D communication throughput and overall system throughput by minimizing outage probability. Hence, we formulate an outage probability problem and overall system throughput optimization problem while guaranteeing minimum allowable signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR). For fair distribution of cellular resources to multiple D2D pairs, we used Jain's fairness index (JFI) method. Simulation is conducted in MATLAB and our simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme achieves remarkable system performance as compared with existing methods.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/computers7040050","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,10,8]],"date-time":"2018-10-08T10:44:53Z","timestamp":1538995493000},"page":"50","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Distance-Constrained Outage Probability Analysis for Device-to-Device Communications Underlaying Cellular Networks with Frequency Reuse Factor of 2"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Devarani Devi","family":"Ningombam","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Engineering, Chosun University, 309 Pilmun-daero, Gwangju 61452, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Seokjoo","family":"Shin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Engineering, Chosun University, 309 Pilmun-daero, Gwangju 61452, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,10,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"22","article-title":"Cooperative communications for wireless networks: techniques and applications in LTE-advanced systems","volume":"19","author":"Li","year":"2012","journal-title":"IEEE Wirel.
