“…The techniques, advantages, and limitations of the current research are highlighted. Moreover, the recent works are classified based on the frequency bands that have been used such as in-band [130], [131], [132], [133], [134], [135], [136], [137], [138], [139], [140] and out-band [102], [103], [141], [143] as shown in fig. 6.…”

“…Nevertheless, mmWaves have very significant attenuation, both in free space and in particular when passing through obstacles. Visible light communication (VLC) has been receiving a lot of interest as a promising technology [102]. Since the visible light spectrum with a frequency range of 400-800 Thz can support highspeed data transmission, VLC is suitable for short-distance D2D communication [103].…”

“…However, the effective chosen antenna causes the underlay cellular user to experience an increased level of interference. In [102], the authors investigate the resource allocation problem for each D2D user in a hybrid RF-VLC network with the coexistence of CUs and DUs. they propose a game of exploratory coalition formation to increase the D2D total sum rate while satisfying the QoS demands of the CUs and DUs.…”

Due to the vast rise of users, the variety of application requirements, and the enormous necessity for ubiquitous connectivity anytime and anywhere, integration of new technologies and ideas are required. Therefore, Device to Device (D2D) communication technology has been regarded as a critical concern for Beyond Fifth Generation (B5G) networks. In the D2D technology, devices in close proximity may connect without using a Base Station (BS). Consequently, improving the capacity and performance of traditional networks. The major objectives are to accomplish a high geared data rate, increase the network coverage with low latency, and improve Energy Efficiency (EE) and Spectrum Efficiency (SE). However, the coexistence of D2D technology in the traditional network can pose many issues and challenges, such as power control, interference, spectrum access, security, and mode selection. Consequently, a comprehensive survey that includes an investigation of the current issues in D2D technology is required. In this survey, we present a new categorization of the most important aspects of resource management in B5G D2D communication, such as power allocation, spectrum allocation, interference management, and mode selection. Furthermore, we discuss the limitations and open issues of the current techniques and propose a model approach and future directions for D2D communication in B5G wireless networks. Our survey aims to assist researchers in exploring and improving D2D communication within the framework of forthcoming wireless networks.

“…However, the above works only considered the overlay mode instead of the multiple DUs coexisting in the underlay mode, which is an essential use-case in future networks. Only our previous work [40] considered this use-case for D2D underlay communication and solved the resource allocation problem using the coalitional game. The main difference between our work and previous work is that D2D communication is extended to a relay-aided manner, which gives rise to new problems.…”

Relay-aided Device-to-Device (D2D) communication combining visible light communication (VLC) with radio frequency (RF) is a promising paradigm in the internet of things (IoT). Static relay limits the flexibility and maintaining connectivity of relays in Hybrid VLC/RF IoT systems. By using a drone as a relay station, it is possible to avoid obstacles such as buildings and to communicate in a line-of-sight (LoS) environment, which naturally aligns with the requirement of VLC Systems. To further support the application of VLC in the IoT, subject to the challenges imposed by the constrained coverage, the lack of flexibility, poor reliability, and connectivity, drone relay-aided D2D communication appears on the horizon and can be cost-effectively deployed for the large-scale IoT. This paper proposes a joint resource allocation and drones relay selection scheme, aiming to maximize the D2D system sum rate while ensuring the quality of service (QoS) requirements for cellular users (CUs) and D2D users (DUs). First, we construct a two-phase coalitional game to tackle the resource allocation problem, which exploits the combination of VLC and RF, as well as incorporates a greedy strategy. After that, a distributed cooperative multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) algorithm, called WoLF policy hill-climbing (WoLF-PHC), is proposed to address the drones relay selection problem. Moreover, to further reduce the computational complexity, we propose a lightweight neighbor–agent-based WoLF-PHC algorithm, which only utilizes historical information of neighboring DUs. Finally, we provide an in-depth theoretical analysis of the proposed schemes in terms of complexity and signaling overhead. Simulation results illustrate that the proposed schemes can effectively improve the system performance in terms of the sum rate and outage probability with respect to other outstanding algorithms.
