Given the fact that the relay contributes to higher data rate or more reliable transmission at
the expense of extra power consumption, we investigate the performance of relay aided …

We investigate the tradeoff between energy efficiency (EE) and spectrum efficiency (SE) in
the heterogeneous network composed of a macro base station (BS), several pico BSs, and …

We consider the problem of resource sharing in Device-to-Device (D2D) communication
underlaying cellular networks. The problem is formulated as a non-cooperative game in …

In this paper, we propose a novel energy efficiency maximization scheme for social-aware
device-to-device (D2D) communications based on a genetic algorithm (GA). The proposed …

Device-to-Device (D2D) communication is a potential candidate which satisfies the
fundamental requirements of the upcoming 5th generation (5G) technology. In underlay D2D …

With the emergence and popularization of multi-homing intelligent terminals, multi-receiver
D2D communication has become a hot research issue. Based on the characteristic that D2D …

Device-to-Device (D2D) communication and heterogeneous networks have been
considered as promising techniques for alleviating the demand both for increased spectral …

Device-to-Device (D2D) paradigm is one of the key enablers for boosting the energy
efficiency (EE) of networks. For the actualization of EE in multi-mode heterogeneous D2D …

Energy Harvesting (EH) technology enables Device-to-Device (D2D) User Equipments
(DUEs) to harvest energy from ambient energy, making contributions to green …

Device-to-Device (D2D) communication is envisioned as an energy-efficient technology in
the (5G) cellular standard. This paper addresses the channel and power allocation for …
