A Fuzzy-based Delay and Energy-Aware Routing Protocol for Multi-hop Cellular Networks

D2D Multi-hop Multi-path Communications in B5G Networks: A Survey on Models, Techniques, and Applications

“…In D2D MHMP communications, E2E delay is often formulated in many forms to be minimised or limited so as to meet the ultra-low delay of B5G networks. Particularly, in [45,49,57,59,61], the E2E delay is computed based on the time when a packet is transmitted at the SU and the time when it is successfully received at the DU. The E2E delay can be derived from the processing delay per hop, the average waiting delay per hop, and the number of hops [3,46]; the per-hop parameters of coding delay, propagation delay, and transmission delay [47]; or simply transmission delay [60,62].…”
