VANET aided D2D Discovery: Delay Analysis and Performance
  The proposed solutions in the literature for integrating Device-to-Device (D2D) communication in cellular networks require added functionalities and consume valuable network resources, mainly in the discovery process. Unlike existing solutions, this paper mitigates the requirement of additional resources in the LTE-A network. This is achieved by proposing to offload a portion of the discovery traffic and processing of D2D communications that involve vehicular users (drivers and passengers) into Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) by using the inherent knowledge of the Road Side Units (RSUs) about users in their coverage areas. In addition, the paper develops an analytical model to analyze the duration of peer discovery in highway scenarios. The results are validated through simulation experiments using both the Network Simulator NS3 and Matlab. The analytical and numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme, and show that a low discovery latency is obtained.
