title = "Novel D2D-based relaying method for multicast services over 3GPP LTE-A systems",
abstract = "The fast proliferation of 'smart' devices with enhanced capabilities and, at the same time, new multimedia streaming services (i.e., providing high-resolution video and audio content) push the network operator to handle a tremendous increase in the traffic load that is difficult to cope with the current wireless/cellular infrastructures. For that reason, in this paper we consider a novel method based on multi-hop Device-to-Device (D2D) communications, where direct links are established among User Equipments (UEs) in proximity within a Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A)-based network. The aim of the proposed mechanism is to improve the multimedia multicast sessions and transmissions in terms of throughput and mean download time per user by delivering ubiquitous and reliable connectivity to the larger number of UEs. Our system-level analysis highlights that via proximity-based transmissions among the users, it is possible to provide multimedia content with higher data rates and lower delays w.r.t. The legacy cellular solutions.",
