Device-to-device (D2D) communications can be adopted as a promising solution to attain high quality of service (QoS) for a network. However, D2D communications generates harmful interference when available resources are shared with traditional cellular users (CUs). In this paper, network architecture for the uplink resource management issue for D2D communications underlaying uplink cellular networks is proposed. We develop a fractional frequency reuse (FFR) technique to mitigate interference induced by D2D pairs (DPs) to CUs and mutual interference among DPs in a cell. Then, we formulate a sum throughput optimization problem to achieve the QoS requirements of the system. However, the computational complexity of the optimization problem is very high due to the exhaustive search for a global optimal solution. In order to reduce the complexity, we propose a greedy heuristic search algorithm for D2D communications so as to find a sub-optimal solution. Moreover, a binary power control scheme is proposed to enhance the system throughput by reducing overall interference. The performance of our proposed scheme is analyzed through extensive numerical analysis using Monte Carlo simulation. The results demonstrate that our proposed scheme provides significant improvement in system throughput with the lowest computational complexity.
