Caching popular files at the user equipments (UEs) provides an effective way to alleviate the
burden of the backhaul networks. Generally, popularity-based caching is not a system-wide …

With the rapid development of intelligent devices, it is possible to communicate among
devices without base-stations. There is a growing body of research on short-range wireless …

Mobile devices in close proximity can be connected in a device-to-device (D2D) manner to
transfer digital objects (eg, videos) to each other. By using D2D data offloading, mobile …

Epidemic algorithms have found their way into many areas of computer science, such as
databases and distributed systems, and recently for communication in Opportunistic or …

A network traffic model obtains the rules and characteristics of computer networks to support
the monitoring, predicting, managing, and securing of network services. With the fast …

Task offloading is a key component in mobile edge computing. Offloading a task to a remote
server takes communication and networking resources. An alternative is device-to-device …

Mobile users are envisioned to exploit direct communication opportunities between their
portable devices, in order to enrich the set of services they can access through cellular or …

In order to understand different offloading options in realistic network scenarios from a
theoretical viewpoint, we develop in this paper a generic analytical framework for providing …

Abstract Device-to-device (D2D) communication will allow direct transmission between
nearby mobile devices in the next generation cellular networks. A fundamental problem in …

Caching is an effective way to address the challenges due to explosive data traffic growth
and massive device connectivity in fifth-generation (5G) networks. Currently, few works on …
