Abstract
This talk focuses on a channel-opportunistic architecture that leverages outband D2D communications and opportunistic clustering techniques. Specifically, we build on top of the forthcoming D2D features of LTE-A networks, and on WiFi Direct. In our proposal, mobile users form clusters opportunistically, in which only the user with the best channel condition communicates with the base station on behalf of the entire cluster. Within the cluster, WiFi Direct is used to relay traffic. Our architecture benefits D2D users in terms of throughput and energy efficiency, for which we provide an analytical model. In addition, we use coalitional game theory to find a suitable payoff distribution among D2D users. Focusing on the implementation feasibility of D2D communications in a network controlled by an operator, we introduce a D2D protocol based on the features of LTE-A and WiFi Direct. We use simulations and real experiments performed on our SDR-based testbed to validate the superiority of D2D-based cluster communication schemes over conventional cellular communications in terms of throughput, delay, fairness and energy efficiency.
