Abstract

Device to Device and Cooperative communication are the two new emerging technologies in the new era of communication technology which differ from the existing cellular technology. In review article we have enlisted different technologies which play a very important role in third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). In this paper we have studied the various techniques of resource allocation, Mode selection for underlay communications in terms of device to device and cooperative communication techniques in terms of Long Term Evolution and Long Term Evolution-Advanced platform. A new technique LTE-Advanced Pro has also been introduced by 3GPP. Various simulators including Vienna LTE-Advanced have also been discussed. Better utilization of the spectrum is also depicts which is done on the basis of analysis if proper resource allocation whether it is power, frequency or time and mode selection is done in the programmed manner which would result in the reduction of interference and it will also lead to the secure system.
