Performance analysis of Full Duplex D2D in opportunistic spectrum access

Opportunistic Spectrum Access (OSA) allows an efficient use of spectrum based on share-it or use-it principle and can be a viable solution for the challenging problem of spectrum scarcity. Emerging systems have been proposed for OSA, where primary users (PU) have guaranteed interference protection from secondary users (SU). The potential of Full Duplex (FD) and Device-To-device (D2D) technologies in 5G has proven to be promising for increasing data rates and network capacity. In this article using stochastic geometry and random graphs, we model and assess the D2D operations in full Duplex/half Duplex mode for SUs, while protecting the PU's transmission by defining the exclusion zone (EZ). Depending on the location and transmit power of D2D users, the induced aggregate interference should not violate the interference threshold for EZ of PUs. For this, we characterize the interference from D2D links and derive the probability for successful D2D users for half-duplex and full duplex modes. Analyses is further supported by extensive simulations results.
