Workshop on Device-to-Device Communication for Cellular and Wireless Networks

Monday, 8 June 2015 • 09:00 – 18:00

WS-14: Device-to-Device Communication for Cellular and Wireless Networks

Organizer: Benoit Pelletier (InterDigital Canada Ltée, Canada)

This workshop will present technical contributions from researchers from academia and industry on Device-to-Device (D2D) communications for Cellular and Wireless Networks. D2D communication is at an early stage of development in LTE-A and is expected to constitute an integral part of future 5G systems, with benefits including ubiquitous computing and communication, traffic offload from cellular networks, improved energy efficiency, extended coverage, peer-to-peer communication supporting public safety communications, social networks, massive M2M, etc. Many issues remain to be addressed before D2D communication is commercialized at mass scale and its benefits fully exploited. The objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners to share the most recent technological advances and state-of-the-art results in the field of D2D communications for wireless mobile cellular networks. Papers in this workshop will address topics of physical layer and networking issues under the context of D2D cellular-coordinated and distributed ad-hoc networking approaches, as well as D2D-enabled applications and services.

Welcome Session

Keynote-1: Device-to-Device in LTE-Advanced

Direct Device-to-Device (D2D) functionality was introduced into the 3GPP LTE-Advanced specifications in Release 12 to support proximity services (also known as ProSe). This talk will explain the key motivations for these features, which support both proximity detection and direct communication. In particular, the extension of LTE into the public safety system domain will be discussed, including the use cases and requirements for robust out-of-network-coverage operation. The design challenges and solutions adopted for D2D in LTE will be reviewed, focusing primarily on the radio access technology. Insights will also be provided into the future development of D2D in LTE to consolidate and enhance the available functionality for improved service provision.

Keynote-2: Device-to-Device Communications in METIS and in Future 5G Systems

The METIS project (https://www.metis2020.com/), which recently concluded, aimed at developing concepts for future 5G mobile and wireless communication systems supporting the needs beyond 2020. Direct Device-to-Device (D2D) communication was selected as one of the Horizontal Topics within METIS, and as such is an integral part of the overall mobile and wireless communications system architecture. In this talk, after introducing the D2D related METIS use cases and scenarios, the role of D2D in the METIS system concept and key technology components to enable D2D will be described. Recent findings and the outlook for D2D in future 5G systems will be discussed.
