An Energy-Efficient Relaying Scheme for Internet of Things Communications

In this paper, we investigate the problem of optimal planning and deployment of multiple relays to support energyefficient uplink transmissions of Internet of Things (IoT) devices. A novel approach is proposed to optimize the relay locations with the objective of minimizing the total energy consumption of the network. In addition, the uplink transmit power of IoT devices and the device-relay-ch...

Device-to-Device Communications for 5G Internet of Things

The proliferation of heterogeneous devices connected through large-scale networks is a clear sign that the vision of the Internet of Things (IoT) is getting closer to becoming a reality. Many researchers and experts in the field share the opinion that the next-to-come fifth generation (5G) cellular systems will be a strong boost for the IoT deployment. Device-toDevice (D2D) appears as a key com...
