Device-to-device (D2D) communications allows two adjacent mobile terminals transmit signal directly without going through base stations, which has been considered as one of the key technologies for future mobile networks. As full-duplex (FD) communications can improve the performance (i.e., throughput, energy efficiency (EE)) of communications systems, it is commonly used in practical D2D communications scenarios. However, FD-enabled D2D communications also results in self-interference. To fully realize the potential benefits of FD-enabled D2D communications, an effective resource allocation mechanism is critical to avoid not only the self-interference of FD-enabled D2D communications but also the interference between D2D users (DUs) and cellular users (CUs). In this paper, we investigate the resource allocation issue for FD-enabled DUs and traditional CUs. Considering the asymmetry of energy and spectrum resources of DUs and CUs, we propose a power-spectrum trading mechanism to achieve mutual benefits for both types of users. A concave-convex procedure algorithm is employed to solve the optimization problem of power allocation, and then a maximum weighted bipartite matching based method is proposed to select proper D2D pairs to maximize the overall system throughput. Numerical results show that the proposed scheme can remarkably improve the overall throughput and EE of FD-enabled D2D communications system.
