IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications 2015; 14(11):6297-6310. doi:10.1109/TWC.2015.24522641536-1276http://hdl.handle.net/10230/26236This paper presents a framework that enables/ncharacterizing analytically the spectral efficiency achievable by/nD2D (device-to-device) communication integrated with a cellular/nnetwork. This framework is based on a stochastic geometry/nformulation with a novel approach to the modeling of interference/nand with the added possibility of incorporating exclusion/nregions to protect cellular receivers from excessive interference/nfrom active D2D transmitters. To illustrate the potential of the/nframework, a number of examples are provided. These examples/nconfirm the potential of D2D communication in situations of/nstrong traffic locality as well as the effectiveness of properly/nsized exclusion regions.application/pdfeng© 2015 IEEE.
