Device-to-device (D2D) communication underlaid cellular network is considered a key integration feature in future cellular\nnetwork. However, without properly designed interference management, the interference fromD2D transmission tends to degrade\nthe performance of cellular users and D2D pairs. In this work, we proposed a network-assisted distributed interference mitigation\nscheme to address this issue. Specifically, the base station (BS) acts as a control agent that coordinates the cross-tier interference\nfrom D2D transmission through a taxation scheme. The cotier interference is controlled by noncooperative game amongst D2D\npairs. In general, the outcome of noncooperative game is inefficient due to the selfishness of each player. In our game formulation,\nreference user who is the victim of cotier interference is factored into the payoff function of each player to obtain fair and efficient\noutcome.The existence, uniqueness of theNash Equilibrium(NE), and the convergence of the proposed algorithmare characterized\nusing Variational Inequality theory. Finally, we provide simulation results to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed algorithm.
