Abstract:We consider a set of cellular users associated with a base station (BS) in a cellular network that employs Device-todevice (D2D) communication. A subset of the users request for some files from the BS. Now, some of the users can potentially act as relays and forward the requested files, or partitions of files, from the BS to some of the requesting users (destination nodes) over D2D links. However, this requires cooperation among the cellular users. Also, when cellular users cooperate with each other, the total… Show more
