We present a novel solution for Channel Assignment Problem (CAP) in Device-to-Device (D2D) wireless networks that takes into account the throughput estimation noise. CAP is known to be NP-hard in the literature and there is no practical optimal learning algorithm that takes into account the estimation noise. In this paper, we first formulate the CAP as a Stochastic Optimization Problem (SOP) to maximize the expected sum data rate. To capture the estimation noise, CAP is modeled as a noisy potential game, a novel notion we introduce in this paper. Then, we propose a distributed Binary Log-linear Learning Algorithm (BLLA) that converges to the optimal channel assignments. Convergence of BLLA is proved for bounded and unbounded noise. Proofs for fixed and decreasing temperature parameter of BLLA are provided. A sufficient number of estimation samples is given that guarantees the convergence to the optimal state. We assess the performance of BLLA by extensive simulations, which show that the sum data rate increases with the number of channels and users. Contrary to the better response algorithm, the proposed algorithm achieves the optimal channel assignments distributively even in presence of estimation noise.
