With the evolution of the 5G, 6G and beyond, device-to-device (D2D) communication has been developed as an energy-, and spectrum-efficient solution. In cellular network, D2D links need to share the same spectrum resources with the cellular link. A reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) can reconfigure the phase shifts of elements and create favorable beam steering, which can mitigate aggravated interference caused by D2D links. In this paper, we study a RIS-assisted single cell uplink communication network scenario, where the cellular link and multiple D2D links utilize direct propagation and reflecting one-hop propagation. The problem of maximizing the total system rate is formulated by jointly optimizing transmission powers of all links and discrete phase shifts of all elements. The formulated problem is an NP-hard mixed integer non-convex non-linear problem. To obtain practical solutions, we capitalize on alternating maximization and the problem is decomposed into two sub-problems. For the power allocation, the problem is a difference of concave functions (DC) problem, which is solved with the gradient descent method. For the phase shift, a local search algorithm with lower complexity is utilized. Simulation results show that deploying RIS and optimizing the phase shifts have a significant effect on mitigating D2D network interference.
