Coordinates Based Clustering Technique in Device to Device Communication

To increase the energy and spectral efficiency in the field of communication, a new technique named Device to Device Communication (D2D) is proposed. This is very essential as there has been a massive growth in the number of connected devices now a days. D2D takes advantage of the physical proximity of communication devices and enables direct communications between them (i.e.) devices communicate with each other without the intermediate nodes. This proximity of devices helps in achieving extremely high bit rates, low delays, and low power consumption. Although there are many benefits of D2D, the implementation of it is very strenuous. There are a number of challenges need to be addressed before establishing a successful D2D connection. One among those is the clustering of devices. Clustering is the grouping of devices based on a particular criteria. In this paper, we first created nodes, found which devices are capable of forming a D2D link, divided them into clusters and then found the cluster head (CH) for each cluster. Finally we plotted graphs for throughput versus the threshold SNR and the distance between the links.
