Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) communications have gained recognition as a promising technology due to their unique characteristics of rapid deployment and flexible configuration. Meanwhile, device-to-device (D2D) and full-duplex (FD) technologies have emerged as promising methods for enhancing spectral efficiency and offloading traffic. One significant advantage of UAVs is their ability to partition suitable D2D pairs to increase cell capacity. In this paper, we present a novel network model in which UAVs are considered D2D pairs underlaying cellular networks, integrating FD into the communication links between UAVs to improve spectral efficiency. We then investigate a resource allocation problem for the proposed FD-UAV D2D underlaying structure model, with the objective of maximizing the system's sum rate. Specifically, the UAVs in our model operate in full-duplex mode as D2D users (DUs), allowing the reuse of both the uplink and downlink subcarrier resources of cellular users (CUs). This optimization challenge is formulated as a mixed-integer nonlinear programming problem, known for its NP-hard and intractable nature. To address this issue, we propose a heuristic algorithm (HA) that decomposes the problem into two steps: power allocation and user pairing. The optimal power allocation is solved as a nonlinear programming problem by searching among a finite set, while the user pairing problem is addressed using the Kuhn–Munkres algorithm. The numerical results indicate that our proposed FD-MaxSumCell-HA (full-duplex UAVs maximizing the cell sum rate with a heuristic algorithm) scheme for FD-UAV D2D underlaying models outperforms HD-UAV underlaying cellular networks, with improved access rates for UAVs in FD-MaxSumCell-HA compared to HD-UAV networks.

Co-construction and sharing has become a key measure to improve the quality and reduce the cost of 5G mobile network, while the demand of traditional voice service is the basic business of 5G network construction.In this paper, the voice service solutions under different 5G networking modes are discussed, and the VoLTE voice service capability under the shared networking mode of 5G NSA access network is deeply studied. Two technical solutions, VoLTE being carried in the 4G shared anchor point plot of the contractor or in the belonging 4G plot, are proposed.

Co-construction and sharing technology is an effective means to quickly build a 5G network with wide coverage, excellent technology, low investment, good perception and good experience. This paper focuses on the technical scheme of 5G access network co-construction and sharing, studies the advantages and disadvantages of various technical schemes and applicable scenarios, and analyzes the capability and implementation scheme of NSA′s sharing to SA′s sharing, so as to ensure the future competitiveness of 5G shared network.

D2D communication is a promising technology for enhancing spectral efficiency (SE) in cellular networks, and full-duplex (FD) has the potential to double SE. Due to D2D's short-distance communication and low transmittance power, it is natural to integrate FD into D2D, creating FD-D2D to underlay a cellular network to further improve SE. However, the residual self-interference (RSI) resulting from FD-D2D and interference arising from spectrum sharing between D2D users (DUs) and cellular users (CUs) can restrict D2D link performance. Therefore, we propose an FD-D2D underlying cellular system in which DUs jointly share uplink and downlink spectral resources with CUs. Moreover, we present two algorithms to enhance the performance experience of DUs while improving the system's SE. For the first algorithm, we tackle an optimization problem aimed at maximizing the sum rate of FD-DUs in the system while adhering to transmittance power constraints. This problem is formulated as a mixed-integer nonlinear programming problem (MINLP), known for its mathematical complexity and NP-hard nature. In order to address this MINLP, our first algorithm decomposes it into two subproblems: power control and spectral resource allocation. The power control aspect is treated as a nonlinear problem, which we solve through one-dimensional searching. Meanwhile, spectral resource allocation is achieved using the Kuhn–Munkres algorithm, determining the pairing of CUs and DUs sharing the same spectrum. As for the second algorithm, our objective is to enhance the individual performance of FD-DUs by maximizing the minimum rate among them, ensuring more uniform rate performance across all FD-DUs. In order to solve this optimization problem, we propose a novel spectral resource allocation algorithm based on bisection searching and the Kuhn–Munkres algorithm, whereas the power control aspect remains the same as in the first algorithm. The numerical results demonstrate that our proposed algorithm effectively enhances the performance of DUs in an FD-D2D underlying cellular network when compared to the sum rate maximization design.
