A Distributed Mode Selection Scheme in Cellular-Device to Device Networks

In this work, we present a mode selection scheme in a hybrid cellular-device to device system. Our model includes a cellular user, a potential device to device user and its receiver. The potential device to device user has different options for its transmission. We introduce a new criteria for mode selection, which has the advantage of being implemented in distributed form. We provide simulation results to evaluate the system performance in terms of sum-rate and individual rates.
