Abstract

The design of effective radio resource management policies for group-oriented services in beyond-4G networks is attracting the interest of the research community. Along this line, this paper analyzes some novel approaches that take advantages of the Device to Device (D2D) communication paradigm with the aim of improving the session quality experienced by mobile users in terms of delay and energy consumption. The basic idea is to enable receivers with a bad cellular link from the evolved Node B (eNodeB) to receive the multicast service through another mobile device located in proximity over a direct link. Two schemes are proposed that exploit different radio technologies to enable nearby multicast subscribers to establish direct local links, either Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) or Wi-Fi Direct. The effectiveness of the proposed solutions is demonstrated through a comprehensive simulative analysis and compared with traditional techniques that only exploit point-to-multipoint communication from the eNodeB to all the group members not taking advantages of the multi-user diversity or alternative network technologies to serve the multicast users.

Footnotes
1
We assume that all devices are willing to act as FD. This assumption is well justified by the downloading time improvement obtained by every device in the multicast group, as shown in the performance evaluation section. Noteworthy, also for the energy consumption the D2D forwarding nodes will experience a reduction w.r.t. the standard CMS solution.
 
2
The admissible throughput values per MCS level are set according to Table 7.1.7.2.1-1 in [8].
 
3
In general, a D2D link is expected to need a fewer resources compared to those needed in the cellular communication, due to shorter distances among involved devices.
 
4
We assume a FD has the possibility to buffer the data if the throughput over the D2D link is not high enough to forward all data downloaded over the cellular link to all the associated nodes. This is a reasonable assumption as also the FD itself is interested in the received multicast content.
