Abstract:
Device-to-Device (D2D) communication is a new paradigm in mobile network that allows users in proximity to each other to communicate directly, without passing data through a central Base Station. However, due to users’ mobility and their location, the users may be far away from each other and this can lead to low-performance data transmission. The multihop approach allows the source user to relay data to the destination user through hop by hop. The advantages of D2D communication can be fully exploited in a multihop communication environment given that the single-hop communication usually limits the communication scope to a specific geographic area. However, routing in multihop cellular D2D networks raises performance-related challenges, versus a traditional cellular network, if non-optimal routes decisions are made. The contribution of this paper is a short review of multihop D2D networks and then a selection is made to discuss more details on a number of centralised routing techniques. The work is still in progress and tries to identify some open research issues to be considered in the future. Therefore, this work will serve as a base model for future performance comparisons, made by simulations between multihop routing techniques.
