CALL FOR PAPERS

In recent years, high data rate applications have become more and more popular in cellular network, e.g. video calls, interactive gaming, and mobile social networking. To efficiently facilitate more high data rate services among nearby users and devices, device-to-device (D2D) communication has been proposed and has attracted significant attention in both the academia and the industry.

A major issue in D2D communication is to understand the impact of the social networks. Since mobile devices are typically used and carried by people, a natural question one may ask is: “What are the benefits of considering human’s social relations in D2D communication?” For example, when a person is at work, he might exploit his social connections to nearby co-workers to improve the quality of D2D communications, e.g., by asking the most trustful user/device to relay his network traffic. When there is no trustworthy friend in the vicinity, he might negotiate with nearby users/strangers to achieve cooperative D2D communication by offering relay assistance to each other. Such mutually beneficial actions will also help expand this person’s social network.

Topics of interests include (but are not limited to) the following categories:

-Social-aware device discovery in D2D technology -LTE-A SAE architecture for social-aware D2D technology -Social-aware security mechanism for D2D networks -Social-aware D2D for public safety -Social-aware D2D for vehicular communication -Social-aware/application-ware frequency reuse and spectrum sharing for D2D communication -Social-aware protocols for D2D communication -Social-aware/application-ware power and interference management -Social aware resource allocation and optimization for D2D -Social-aware neighbor discovery and link maintenance -Crowdsourcing in D2D networks -Trust and reputations in D2D networks -Cognitive and cooperative D2D communication -Social-aware routing protocols for multi-hop D2D networks -Social-aware apps for D2D communication -E-health with D2D communication
