| Summary: | Device to device (D2D) communication has recently been established in the literature as an effective means to increase the frequency spectrum and enhance the efficiency of energy consumption in future cellular systems. However, certain issues, resulting from reusing resources in the same cell, have caused serious perturbations. We study issues pertaining to D2D communication, such as dual mode selection, channel allocation and power control, aiming at the maximization of the overall throughput of the system, while at the same time ensuring that the generated interference is kept minimized. This is an NP-Hard problem that decomposes the optimization problem into two layers: the inner layer, where the DQN algorithm is used as an indicator of the optimal transmission power that should be allocated to the D2D pairs in accordance with their mode of operation, and the outer layer, where strategic decisions, such as which communication mode to use and how to allocate the channels, are made. We have proved the superiority of the proposed scheme, in terms of both system throughput and performance, through simulating experiments involving different scenarios.
