Abstract

The fifth-generation (5G) wireless networks are the newest mobile technologies proposed for supporting high-data-rate traffic and challenges of previous generations such as spectrum crisis and high energy consumption. Millimeter-wave (mmWave) communication is a promising technology for 5G cellular networks aiming at solving microwave spectrum crisis and providing very high data rates for users. Enabling device-to-device (D2D) communications over mmWave networks can improve the efficiency of these networks. In this article, a new cluster-based architecture capable for D2D mmWave communication (CADM) with TDMA-based medium access control structure is proposed to improve the performance of 5G networks. Using clustering for CADM results in reducing energy consumption and prolonging network lifetime. In addition, enabling simultaneous short-distance mmWave connections on the same frequencies in this architecture not only improves data rates, throughput, and spectral efficiency but also reduces end-to-end delay of 5G mobile networks.
