- Abstract
Device-to-device (D2D) communication is seen as an important emerging technology and a hot research area for (5th Generation) cellular networks that takes advantage of the physical proximity of communicating devices. However, its implementation faces some technical issues such as interference management, resource allocation, mobility management, security and so on. Recently, many research works have tried to deal with those problems. In this study, the authors focus on D2D mobility management issue and they give a comparative study on the existing techniques in cellular networks managing the mobile devices (MDs) connections and maintaining service continuity when moving between coverage areas. First, they describe the different D2D handover management techniques. Second, through analysing and categorising a wide range of the latest research works on Distributed Mobility Management, they select some approaches that could be suitable for D2D mobility management in 5G cellular networks. Finally, they mathematically analyse the handover performance of the selected solutions, and compare them and they conclude that Software Defined Networking based solution outperforms the others in terms of handover delay, packet loss, ping-pong effect as well as the handover failure probability.
