| contents | In this paper, uplink transmission of a cell-free massive multiple-input multiple-output (CF-mMIMO) system coexisting with device-to-device (D2D) communication links is investigated, under the assumption that access points (APs) are equipped with low-resolution analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). Lower bounds of achievable rates for both D2D users (DUEs) and CF-mMIMO users (CFUEs) are derived in closed-form, with perfect and imperfect channel state information. Next, in order to reduce pilot contamination, greedy and graph coloring-based pilot allocation algorithms are proposed and analyzed for the considered scenario. Furthermore, to control interference and improve the performance, two power control strategies are designed and their complexity and convergence are also discussed. The first power control strategy aims at maximizing CFUEs' sum spectral efficiency (SE) subject to quality of service constraints on DUEs, while the second one maximizes the weighted product of CFUEs' and DUEs' signal-to-interference-plus-noise-ratios (SINRs). Numerical results show that the proposed pilot and power allocations bring a considerable improvement to the network SE. Also, it is revealed that the activation of D2D links has a positive effect on the system throughput, i.e. the network offloading ensured by the D2D links overcomes the increased interference brought by D2D communications. |
