Earlier works have studied the energy efficiency (EE) of half-duplex Device-to-Device (D2D) communications. However, the EE of full-duplex D2D communications underlaying cellular networks which undergoes residual self-interference (SI) has not been investigated. In this paper, we focus on the EE of full-duplex D2D communications with uplink channel reuse and compare it with the half-duplex counterpart, aiming to show which mode is more energy-efficient. Our goal is to find the optimal transmission powers to maximize the system EE while guaranteeing required signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratios (SINRs) and transmission power constraints. The optimal power allocation problem is modeled as a noncooperative game, in which each user equipment (UE) is self-interested and wants to maximize its own EE. An optimal iterative bisection-alternate optimization method is proposed to solve the optimization problem from the noncooperative game-theoretic perspective. Simulation results show that the proposed method can achieve EE close to that obtained by an existing method but with lower complexity in half-duplex D2D communications underlaying cellular networks. Moreover, the full-duplex D2D communications underlaying cellular networks outperform the half-duplex D2D communications underlaying cellular networks in terms of EE when effective SI mitigation techniques are applied.

This paper explores the energy efficiency (EE) maximization problem in single-hop multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) half-duplex wireless sensor networks (WSNs) with simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT). Such an energy efficiency maximization problem is considered in two different scenarios, in which the number of energy-harvesting (EH) sensor nodes are different. In the scenario where the single energy-harvesting sensor node is applied, the modeled network consists of two multiple-antenna transceivers, of which the energy-constrained energy-harvesting sensor node harvests energy from the signals transmitted from the source by a power splitting (PS) scheme. In the scenario of multiple EH sensor nodes, K energy-constrained sensor nodes are applied and the same quantity of antennas are equiped on each of them. The optimization problem is formulated to maximize the energy efficiency by jointly designing the transceivers’ precoding matrices and the PS factor of the energy-harvesting sensor node. The considered constraints are the required harvested energy, the transmission power limit and the requirement on the data rate. The joint design of the precoding matrices and the PS factor can be formulated as an optimization problem, which can be transformed into two sub-problems. An alternating algorithm based on Dinkelbach is proposed to solve the two sub-problems. The convergence of the proposed alternating algorithm, the solution optimality and the computational complexity are analyzed in the paper. Simulation results demonstrate the convergence and effectiveness of our proposed algorithm for realizing the maximum energy efficiency.
