Device-to-device (D2D) based offloading stands out as a promising approach to mitigate the pressure over cellular networks. From the perspectives of both operators and users, an ideal solution is expected to maximize the offloading efficiency (ratio) while guaranteeing the quality-of-service (QoS) o...
