Abstract

Fifth Generation (5G) networks hold the promise of features and performance levels that is going to put the conventional cellular communication paradigm through rigorous challenges. This paper presents a novel architecture for a 5G network which will be capable of mobile device centric communication regardless of the presence of a Base Station (BS). The major contribution of this paper, lies in the proposed system and protocol design of a Device-to-Device (D2D) communication system for 5G mobile system. The proposed design has two sub-categories – (a) fully device centric and (b) partially device centric. Additionally, the devices have been designed to communicate independently or with partial dependency on support from the BS. The system has been simulated under various parameters. The simulation results showcased in this paper highlights the efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed design.

Highlights

The modern cellular network, using the Fourth Generation (4G), Long Term Evolution (LTE) technologies, and users are facing huge demand from users to improve its functional capacity
We focus on a device centric communication to support the 5G networks, which has been derived from D2D communications
We propose a mechanism for D2D communication session setup and management procedures in the cellular system architecture and we present numerical results based on system simulations in an interference limited local area scenario
