In order to improve the system throughput and utilization of spectrum resource, a resource allocation mechanism for D2D underlaid communication is proposed in this paper where D2D pairs reuse the resource blocks (RBs) of cellular uplink users, adopting a matching matrix to disclose the results of resource allocation. Details of the proposed resource allocation mechanism focused are listed as: the transmit power of D2D pairs are determined by themselves with the distributed power control method, and D2D pairs are assigned to different clusters that are the intended user sets of RBs, according to the threshold of the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR). The weighted efficiency interference-aware (WE-I-A) algorithm is proposed and applied subsequently to promote the system throughput by optimizing the matching of D2D pairs and RBs, where each D2D pair is weighted based on the SINR to compete for the priority of RBs fairly. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm contributes to a good performance on the system throughput even if the uplink state is limited.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s19143194","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,22]],"date-time":"2019-07-22T02:55:37Z","timestamp":1563764137000},"page":"3194","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["A Resource Allocation Mechanism Based on Weighted Efficiency Interference-Aware for D2D Underlaid Communication"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Jingzhao","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electrical and Information Engineering, Anhui University of Science and Technology (AUST), Huainan 232001, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiaoming","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electrical and Information Engineering, Anhui University of Science and Technology (AUST), Huainan 232001, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuan","family":"Feng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electrical and Information Engineering, Anhui University of Science and Technology (AUST), Huainan 232001, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1381-4364","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kuan-Ching","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering, Providence University, Taichung 43301, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"42","DOI":"10.1109\/MCOM.2009.5350367","article-title":"Device-to-device communication as an underlay to LTE-advanced networks","volume":"47","author":"Doppler","year":"2009","journal-title":"IEEE Commun.
