5G Millimeter-Wave and D2D Symbiosis
60 GHz for Proximity-Based Services
The characteristics of two key communication technologies in 5G, namely, D2D and mmWave, are complementary. While D2D facilitates the communication of nearby mobile nodes, mmWave provides very high throughput short-range links by using carrier frequencies beyond 30 GHz, and reduc

DORE
An Experimental Framework to Enable Outband D2D Relay in Cellular Networks
Device-to-Device (D2D) communications represent a paradigm shift in cellular networks. In particular, analytical results on D2D performance for offloading and relay are very promising, but no experimental evidence validates these results to date. This paper is the first to provid

Floating band D2D
Exploring and exploiting the potentials of adaptive D2D-enabled networks
In this paper, we propose Floating Band D2D, an adaptive framework to exploit the full potential of Device-to-Device (D2D) transmission modes. We show that inband and outband D2D modes exhibit different pros and cons in terms of complexity, interference, and spectral efficiency.

DRONEE
Dual-radio opportunistic networking for energy efficiency
Reducing the power consumption of smartphones is becoming more and more important as smartphones become an indispensable component of our daily activities. In this work, we propose a novel scheme, so called DRONEE, that dramatically ameliorates energy efficiency for uplink transm
