Abstract

The evolving Fifth generation (5G) cellular wireless networks are envisioned to provide higher data rates, lower end-to-end latency, and lower energy consumption for devices. In order to achieve 5G requirements, a lot of new technologies are needed to operate in 5G. Device-to-device communication (D2D) is one of the key technologies provided to enhance 5G performance. D2D is direct communication between two devices without involvement of any central point (i.e. base station). It is a recommended technique to enhance the energy efficiency, throughput, latency, and spectrum utilization in cellular networks. This paper provides an intensive benchmarking of the integration of D2D communication into cellular network focusing on the potential advantages, different recent prototypes, classifications, and applications for D2D technology. Finally, the paper addresses the D2D related main topics and indicates the major possible challenges that face most researchers.
