Cell association in cellular networks is an important aspect that impacts network capacity
and eventually quality of experience. The scope of this work is to investigate the different …

Device-to-Device (D2D) communications is regarded as an option to extricate cellular Base
Stations (BSs) from heavy traffic load. With more devices using D2D communications, there …

In this article, we look into how the LTE network can efficiently evolve to cater for new data
services by utilizing direct communications between mobile devices and extending the direct …

This paper proposes a centralized decision making framework at the macro base station
(MBS) for device-to-device (D2D) communication underlaying a two-tier cellular network. We …

In cellular networks, proximity users may communicate directly without going through the
base station, which is called Device-to-device (D2D) communications and it can improve …

We consider the resource allocation problem in cellular networks which support device-to-
device communications (D2D). For systems that enable D2D via only orthogonal resource …

Cellular network performance can significantly benefit from direct device-to-device (D2D)
communication, but interference from cochannel D2D communication limits the performance …

We develop a flexible and accurate framework for device-to-device (D2D) communication in
the context of a conventional cellular network, which allows for time-frequency resources to …

This paper proposes an energy-aware mode-selection mechanism for device-to-device
(D2D) resource allocation in the coexisting 5G network environment of D2D users and …

Device-to-device (D2D) communication is a vital component for the next generation cellular
network to bring hop gains, improve spectral reuse, and enhance system capacity. These …
