Abstract
Device-to-device (D2D) communication produces a new dimension in the mobile environment, easing the data exchange process between physically neighboring devices. To achieve an effective utilization of available resources, reduce latency, improve data rates, and increase system capacity, D2D communication utilizes nearby communicating devices. The mobile operator’s action to collect the short-range communications for maintenance of the proximity-based services and improve the performance of networks drives the development of D2D. This paper presents an extensive review of proposed solutions aiming to enhance the security in D2D communication. The main goal of the research is to present an extensive review of the recent advances in various D2D domains such as the discovery process, mode selection schemes, interference management, power control techniques and finally the mode selection for D2D applications for 5G technologies. Additionally, we highlight the open problems and identify the challenges with regard to the D2D communication problem.
Highlights
New technologies fundamentally change the way people exchange information with each other, especially in wireless communication and mobile computing
Contradictory to previous surveys that have collectively discussed device discovery, interference management, privacy and security, power control, and mode selection, this paper focuses on presenting the recent problems, solution techniques and limitations of the proposed solutions, and analyzes new challenges in D2D communications
In [43], Sun et al proposed a D2D management scheme that is based on the interference limited area (ILA) combined with a power control algorithm to mitigate the interference that may be inflicted on the cellular users caused by activated D2D links
Summary
New technologies fundamentally change the way people exchange information with each other, especially in wireless communication and mobile computing. Contrary to the existing surveys, as shown, we classified the previous surveys and challenges in D2D communications into the specific domains of device discovery, interference management, privacy and security, power control, and mode selection. These domains are considered crucial for improving network optimization [13]. Contradictory to previous surveys that have collectively discussed device discovery, interference management, privacy and security, power control, and mode selection, this paper focuses on presenting the recent problems, solution techniques and limitations of the proposed solutions, and analyzes new challenges in D2D communications. We have eliminated some previous outdated papers that have been cited in other existing surveys, and present the latest directions related to the domain in the 5G environment in which D2D communication will play a pivotal role
