Existing solutions to improve network capacity:

• Increase Available BW
• Carrier Aggregation

• Microwave band is referred to as Sweet spot due to its favorable propagation characteristics
• Low frequency bands have been almost used up
• It is difficult to find sufficient frequency bands in the microwave range for 5G improvements
• mmWave with high bandwidth can be a potential solution for 5G communication
• However, wave propagation in mmWave band has specific characteristics that should be considered

Atmospheric Absorption

• Raindrops are roughly the same size as the radio wavelengths (millimeters) and therefore cause scattering
• f the radio signal
• The rain attenuation and molecular absorption characteristics of mmWave propagation limit the range of

mmWave communications

mmWave Characteristics

High Propagation Loss and Sensitivity to Blockage

• mmWave communication suffers from high propagation loss 𝑄𝑀 ∝ 𝑔2
• Electromagnetic waves have weak ability to diffract around obstacles with a

size significantly larger than the wavelength

• For example, blockage by a human attenuate the link budget by 20-30 dB
• Only LOS communication is efficient.

D2D Communication

D2D communication allows mobiles to establish a direct connection without traversing the eNodeB (or BS). D2D is a key component in the context of IoT, since a substantial fraction of the traffic is generated and consumed locally. Eliminating the eNodeB from the transmission path leads to:

• Higher spectral efficiency
• Lower signaling overhead
• Higher energy efficiency
• Increase the coverage of cell edge UEs
• Reduce the traffic load of BS

However, these gains can only be achieved if we can overcome several challenges faced by D2D communication.

D2D Communication

Main problem in D2D: Interference Management

D2D over ISM band (using WiFi)

• Devices compete to achieve channel

access

• Little interference control
• Quality of communication is not

guaranteed. D2D over licensed band

• Guaranteed communication quality
• Require accurate interference management

between cellular and D2D users Several techniques are proposed to solve these challenges. Still D2D link capacity is significantly affected by the network density:

• Insufficient communication bandwidth
• Significant interference caused due to the omni-directional nature of communication

mmWave Shortcomings Advantage for D2D

Some of the mmWave communication challenges are desirable features for D2D communication:

• High path loss
• Directional beam forming
• Less interference
• Improve spatial reuse
• High bandwidth
• Supports high throughput D2D applications

Challenges

• Narrow beam width
• Low antenna height in D2D communication comparing to BS height

Makes devices more vulnerable to blockage which may cause difficulty to fulfill D2D device discovery and beam alignment. Hybrid communication: works on mmWave in Line-of-Sight (LoS) case and switch back to microwave in case of

blockage, and exchange control signaling in microwave to aid the alignment for mmWave.

mmWave D2D integration

Beam alignment protocol

• 1. BS finds that there is a UE who wants to communicate directly with another UE in its cell
• 2. BS broadcasts this information as a D2D-link-set-up-request to both UEs.
• 3. DUE pair receive the request and prepare for the beam alignment process (micro wave

band)

• 4. DUE A will send channel probing signals from each of its sectors in a cycle, and B will

receive at each of its sectors and keep recording the signal strength (𝐵𝑙 × 𝐶𝑜)

• 5. BS gets the feedback of the power strength from B and convey information to A.

LoS Link: If the mmWave power received by B in some sector is greater than a minimum power threshold (T), BS will send A the information: mmWave communication. Blockage: If none of B’s sectors received enough power higher than the threshold, which shows there are blockages in the link, BS will inform A to communicate with B on micro wave band

• 6. A begins to communicate with B in micro wave or mmWave.

mmWave D2D integration

Assumptions Location of BSs: The locations of the BSs form a homogeneous Poisson Point Process (PPP) 𝜚 on the plane with density 𝜇𝐶 and all BSs employ constant downlink transmission power 𝑄𝐶. Location of DUEs: The D2D users form another homogeneous PPP 𝜚 on the plane with density 𝜇𝐸 . The DUE reuse the downlink resource of the cellular links. Blockage model: The blockages are modeled as another PPP of buildings independent of the communication network. Each point of the building PPP is independently marked with a random width, length, and orientation Beam-Forming : In millimeter wave band, antenna arrays at the base stations and DUEs are all adopted for directional communication. Angle gain between the transmitter beam and the receiver beam is denoted as 𝐻(𝜄𝑢, 𝜄𝑠), and the maximum achievable array gain is 𝐻(0, 0). In microwave band they use omni-directional antenna. Beam Alignment: Due to small size of antenna, they can be used in large scale at equipment to obtain high gain communication. The main beams of the transceiver antennas are perfectly aligned with each other when transmission is being carried on.
