The empirical CDF of the received SINR is illustrated when operating in D2D mode and the D2D pair is dropped within ISD/5 distance from one another in Scenario 3 (7-cell system). The plot verifies that the fixed SINR target is maintained for all UEs in the cell (i.e. both the cellular UEs and the receiving device (RxD) of the D2D pair). The heuristic (adaptive) SINR targets are set such that SINR target on the D2D link (RxD) has a wide range of possible values throughout the Monte Carlo experiments, while the SINR targets for the cellular UEs are typically very low (essentially switching off the cellular link).
