Abstract

This paper studies the outage probability of device-to-device (D2D) communication aided by another D2D user using the two-way amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying protocol. We first discuss the outage behavior under strong and weak interference from the cellular network. Then the exact expressions for the outage probability under the two cases are derived. Based on these results, we give tight approximations in the high signal-to-noise (SNR) regime under the two cases. Numerical results show that the outage behavior for the relay aided D2D link can be greatly enhanced without extra power. Analytical results are validated via comparisons with the Monte-Carlo simulations.
