Device-to-Device communications (D2D) are being used to improve the spectral efficiency and to reduce the load of the base station (BS) by reutilizing the licensed spectrum. However, the primary cellular users may face high interference from D2D users. There is also a scarcity of licensed spectrum due to the dense deployment of smart devices. To alleviate this problem, in this paper, we are extending the D2D users to the unlicensed band. In this scenario, the D2D users are allowed to reuse the licensed spectrum or share the unlicensed spectrum with the incumbent WiFi users. However, cellular and WiFi users experience high interference if an efficient interference management scheme is not used. In this paper, we propose a joint mode selection, channel allocation, and power control algorithm using particle swarm optimization to manage the interference and improve the overall throughput of cellular and D2D users such that the minimum data rate requirement of WiFi users is guaranteed. Through numerical simulations, we show that the proposed algorithm can significantly mitigate the interference and improve the throughput of the system.
