Summary This paper addresses the research question of total system interference minimization while maintaining a target system sum rate gain in an inband underlay device‐to‐device (D2D) communication. To the best of our knowledge, most of the state of the art research works exploit offline resource allocation algorithms to address the research problem. However, in Long‐Term Evolution (LTE) and beyond systems (4G, 5G, or 5G+), offline resource allocation algorithms do not comply with the fast scheduling requirements because of the high data rate demand. In this paper, we propose a bi‐phase online resource allocation algorithm to minimize the total system interference for inband underlay D2D communication. Our proposed algorithm assumes D2D pairs as a set of variable elements whereas takes the cellular user equipment (UEs) as a set of constant elements. The novelty of our proposed online resource allocation algorithm is that it incurs a minimum number of changes in radio resource assignment between two successive allocations among the cellular UEs and the D2D pairs. Graphical representation of the simulation results suggests that our proposed algorithm outperforms the existing offline algorithm considering number of changes in successive allocation for a certain percentage of sum rate gain maintaining the total system interference and total system sum rate very similar.
