“…The major applications of interest for D2D communication include public safety, disaster management, social networking, data flooding and local data transfer (Corson et al, 2010;Lin et al, 2014). Additionally, there are many features that can be borrowed from cognitive radio (Alam et al, 2017;Khadim et al, 2017;Khan et al, 2019) based wireless systems i.e. spectrum sensing, bandwidth sharing, energy optimization, and opportunistic communication to improve the performance of D2D communications.…”
