Device-to-device (D2D) communications integrated into cellular networks is a means to take advantage of the proximity of devices and thereby to increase the user bitrates and system capacity. D2D communications has recently been proposed for the 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) system as a method to increase the spectrum- and energy-efficiency. Device-to-device communication has the potential of increasing the system capacity, energy efficiency and achievable peak rates while reducing the end-to-end latency. To realize these gains, are proposed resource allocation (RA) and power control (PC) approaches that show near optimal performance in terms of spectral or energy efficiency.
