Full-duplex (FD) transmissions have emerged as a spectrally efficient technology with the evolution of enhanced self-interference (SI) suppression techniques. However, FD transmission mode (TM) may not consistently outperform half-duplex (HD) TM due to residual SI. In contrast, an adaptive FD/HD scheme utilizes advantages both and HD TM. This paper proposes for cooperative device-to-device (C-D...

The exponential increase in the number and types of mobile devices, along with their ever-growing sets of capabilities, have enabled the development of new architectures that aim to harness such heterogeneity. Transient clouds are examples of mobile clouds, which are created on-the-fly by the devices present in an environment to share their physical resources (e.g. CPU, memory and network) and ...

Fifth Generation (5G) wireless systems are expected to connect an avalanche of "smart" objects disseminated from the largest "Smart City" to the smallest "Smart Home". In this vision, Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) is deemed to play a fundamental role in the Internet of Things (IoT) arena providing a large coherent infrastructure and a wide wireless connectivity to the devices. However, s...

In this paper, we study a resource allocation problem in orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA)-based Device-to-Device (D2D) communications. To end, propose multi-objective optimization (MOOP) framework, which jointly maximizes the sum rate of D2D users (DUs) and cellular (CUs) uplink communications minimizes total transmit power. The proposed formulation takes into account minim...
