Multi-hop device-to-device (D2D) communications play an important role in expanding D2D
coverage. In this paper, we study a relay-based and network-coding-assisted (in particular …

In this paper, we present an analytical approach to evaluate the performance of dual-hop,
two-way, and asymmetric device-to-device (D2D) communications with and without network …

In long term evolution advanced (LTE-A) networks, the mobile devices can concurrently
participate in cooperative outband device-to-device (D2D) data exchange by virtue of user …

In this paper, we investigate the joint signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) thresholds
optimization and resource allocation to maximize the sum-rate of Device-to-Device (D2D) …

Multi-hop cooperative communications have been considered to increase the coverage
range of device-to-device (D2D) communications underlaying cellular networks. Whilst …

Underlay device-to-device (D2D) communication is an attractive technology enabling
nearby cellular users to communicate with each other directly in order to increase data rate …

Device-to-device (D2D) communications has been realized as an effective means to
improve network throughput, reduce transmission latency, and extend cellular coverage in …

In this study, the authors conduct the performance evaluation and resource allocation for two‐
way multiple‐input multiple‐output‐based device‐to‐device (D2D) communications …

Although network‐assisted device‐to‐device (D2D) communications are known to improve
the spectral and energy efficiency of proximal communications, the performance of …

In the 5th generation (5G) of cellular networks, users can directly communicate together
without the need for macrocell base station (MBS) which is referred to as device-to-device …
