Full duplex (FD) and Device-to-Device (D2D) communication are two revolutionary protocols that have enabled better spectrum utilization and more reliable data delivery in wireless networks. In addition, stochastic geometry tools have become necessary to characterize the randomness in the present networks with respect to the irregular architecture and the competing access schemes. This work analyses the performance of a mobile network comprising nodes which are randomly distributed in a square area, which are equipped with FD radios, and can communicate using D2D. The base station (BS) nodes and user nodes in the network are modelled as points of a homogenous binomial point process (BPP) and a homogeneous Poisson point process (PPP) respectively. The network area is tessellated into cells using Voronoi diagrams which approximates to a nearest BS-to-user node association policy. The user nodes can cache popular file objects which are available in a centralized server in the network and other nodes in proximity can request for such objects and receive them using D2D. Using well known distance distribution expressions and stochastic geometry analysis, the distribution of the signal-to-interference ratio (SIR), the D2D and FD collaboration probabilities and the average coverage probability are derived. It is shown that a network-wide quality of service is maintained without additional spectrum utilization when the user nodes can be intelligently tuned to transmit and receive using FD and/or D2D modes.
