The performance of cooperative cellular networks can be enhanced by using social
information of users in the network. This paper presents a social-aware midpoint relay …

In a D2D (device-to-device) communication system, this paper proposes a relay selection
strategy based on social perception. Firstly, the social threshold is introduced into the D2D …

Intra-cell interference management is one of the technical challenges for device-to-device
(D2D) communication underlaying cellular networks. In this paper, we propose two …

To meet the increasing demand of wireless broadband applications in 4G/beyond 4G
cellular networks, D2D communication can serve as a candidate paradigm to improve …

Device-to-device (D2D) relaying is a concept, where some users relay data of cell-edge
users (CUEs) experiencing a bad channel quality to a base station. While this research topic …

In wireless device-to-device (D2D) networks, devices are reluctant to forward packets
because of limited energy and possible delays for their own data. The incentive mechanisms …

As a promising technology, Device-to-Device (D2D) communication can bring some
advantages such as high bit rates, low delays, low power consumption by reusing frequency …

A novel social-tie motivated relay selection scheme is proposed for dynamic device-to-
device (D2D) communications overlaying cellular networks. Using the non-edge cellular …

Device-to-device (D2D) communications is conceived as an effective technique to improve
the performance on overall throughput and enhance system capacity in cellular networks …

Cross layer optimization for relay assisted wireless communication is important as it caters
for parameters in more than one layer thereby a more holistic insight to the performance of …
