Energy-efficient full-duplex D2D for SWIPT-empowered underlay cellular networks using a deep neural network

초록

Close-packed small-cell networks enables a device-to-device (D2D) user equipment (DUE) to harvest energy from an ambient source, which increases the energy efficiency of the devices. Conceptually, full-duplex (FD) communications can double spectral efficiency compared to traditional half-duplex (HD) communications. However, the use of FD mode increases self-interference, which impacts spectral capacity and energy efficiency. In this paper, we study the performance of full-duplex D2D underlay cellular networks, where D2D devices decipher information and harvest energy simultaneously using SWIPT technology. Specifically, we build an optimization model to maximize the energy efficiency of the system, and obtain global- and sub-optimal solutions from the exhaustive search (ES) algorithm and the gradient search (GS) with barrier algorithm, respectively. In addition, we design deep neural networks (DNN) algorithm for the optimization model and evaluate the performance of the proposed DNN algorithm compared to the ES and GS algorithms. From the results, we confirm that the FD mode outperforms the HD mode in terms of energy efficiency and sum-rate and the proposed DNN algorithm can achieve near-global-optimal solution. © 2022 Elsevier B.V.
