Multicell Device-to-Device Communication: A Spectrum-Sharing and Densification Study

One of the most significant fifth-generation (5G) technology enablers will be device-to-device (D2D) communication, which refers to the capability of direct communication between two or more devices without the intervention of a base station and constitutes a promising way to improve spectral, energy, and latency performance, exploiting the physical proximity of communicating devices and increasing resource utilization. Furthermore, network...
