Device-to-device (D2D) communication is a promising technique to improve the spectral
efficiency of cellular networks. In this paper, we investigate the joint uplink and downlink …

In cellular networks, device-to-device communications can increase the spectrum efficiency,
but some conventional schemes only consider uplink or downlink resource allocation. In this …

The emerging UAV network suffers from severe security risks from attackers. If the attackers
sneak into an Internet of UAV (IoU) network, they would occupy the scarce resources which …

Energy efficiency (EE) is an important parameter for the next generation cellular
communications which is not limited to voice and text messages only. Device-to-Device …

In smart cities, the ubiquitous network connections and high data rate services are provided
to afford effective service of real-time monitoring and responses. With the development of the …

The green Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged as a promising paradigm to reduce the
energy consumed by nodes in dense networks. To ensure energy efficiency (EE) operation …

Relay assisted Device-to-Device (D2D) communications have received an increase
attention due to its capacity to enhance D2D and mitigate interference constraints in cellular …
