Relay-assisted Device-to-Device Networks: Connectivity and Uberization Opportunities
Relay-assisted Device-to-Device Networks: Connectivity and Uberization Opportunities
It has been shown that deploying device-to-device (D2D) networks in urban environments requires equipping a considerable proportion of crossroads with relays. This represents a necessary economic investment for an operator. In this work, we tackle the problem of the economic feasibility of such relay assisted D2D networks. First, we propose …
