Track description
Due to the high demand of communication everywhere and anytime in the cities and the lack of communication infrastructures in remote regions, in disasters scenarios and deep space scenarios, Device-to-Device (D2D) and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication have gained special attention from both academia and industry in the past years. D2D and M2M communication can be defined as direct communication between two or more mobile users in range for direct communication. D2D networks can improve connectivity in dense cellular networks by increasing the spectral efficiency, enabling multi-hop relays, content dissemination, and, as such, offloading data from the cellular network.
This special session attempts to join researchers from both academia and industry focusing on theoretical and practical research contributions. These contributions can be new techniques, analyses, and applied contributions reporting on experiences and experiments attempting networking deployment in challenging scenarios.
