Device-to-device (D2D) communication proposes a new epitome in mobile networking to
avail data exchange between physically proximate devices. The exploitation of D2D …

In this paper, we investigate the optimal dynamic social-aware peer selection with spectrum-
power trading to maximize the average sum energy efficiency (EE) of cellular users (CUs) for …

Device-to-device (D2D) communications underlay to a cellular infrastructure has recently
been proposed to increase spectrum efficiency and expansion of coverage. Relay selection …

Device-to-device (D2D) communication exploits the proximity between two devices to
enhance the overall spectrum utilization of a crowded cellular network. Two conventional …

In disaster scenarios like cyclone, flood, earthquake, etc., not only the infrastructure is in a
shattered state, but also victims are in critical situations. In such scenarios, Unmanned Aerial …

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 …

Cooperative device to device (C-D2D) communication framework can be exploited for
offloading cellular data as well as to combat congestion in a crowded cellular network. In C …

In this paper, we propose a blockchain (BC)-enabled relay selection method in distributed
cooperative communication networks, where non-cell-edge users (NCEUs) consume …

Public safety networks need to more effectively meet the increasing demands for images or
videos to be shared among first responders and incident commanders. Long term evolution …

Using full‐duplex relaying in device‐to‐device (D2D) communication, spectrum efficiency
can be further improved as compared with traditional half‐duplex relaying. Due to the …
