IEEE JSAC Special Issue on Device-to-Device Communications in Cellular Networks
(http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/Calls/DevicetoDeviceCFP.pdf)  

Submission Deadline: May 1, 2013

Mobile data traffic, especially mobile video traffic, has dramatically 
increased in recent years with the emergence of smart phones, tablets, and 
various new applications. It is hence crucial to increase network capacity to 
accommodate these bandwidth consuming applications and services. 
Device-to-device (D2D) communication is a promising concept to improve user 
experiences and resource utilization in cellular networks, both for licensed 
and unlicensed spectrum. It enables two mobile devices in proximity of each 
other to establish a direct local link and to bypass the base station or access 
point. D2D communication may either be network-controlled where the operator 
manages the switching between direct and conventional cellular links, or the 
direct links may be managed by the devices without operator control. D2D allows 
combining infrastructure-mode and ad hoc communication.


Device-to-device communications may have advantages such as: 1) improved 
performance for devices; 2) improved spectrum reuse and system throughput; 3) 
offloading in cellular networks; 4) improved energy efficiency; 5) extended 
coverage; 6) creation of new services. It also poses new problems and 
challenges. A issue is how to share resources dynamically (e.g. spectrum and 
energy) between cellular communication and ad hoc D2D communication to 
accommodate larger volumes of traffic and to provide better service to users. 
Other challenges include: identification of services for which D2D 
communication is useful; radio resource allocation and resource management; 
self-organizing direct links; proximity-based offloading, and capacity 
evaluation and performance comparison.

The special issue addresses research advances that enable D2D communications in 
cellular networks. The goal is to report on the most up-to-date contributions 
in this area. Device-to-device communication must be central to all topics that 
include, but are not limited to, the following.
Power and interference management
Proximity-based detection and offloading
Self-organizing device discovery
Cognitive and cooperative D2D communication
Device vs operator controlled link establishment
Link management and mode selection
Capacity analysis and energy efficiency evaluation
Group communication and broadcasting
Multi-hop D2D communications
Quality improvement for real-time applications
Channel measurements and modelling
Mobility measurements, modelling and management
New services and applications
