Security in device-to-device communications: a survey
Open accessAbstract
Device‐to‐device (D2D) communication is a promising technology for the next generation mobile communication networks (5G). Indeed, it is expected to allow high throughput, reduce communication delays and reduce energy consumption and traffic load. D2D technology will enhance the capacity and the performance of traditional cellular networks. Security issues must be considered in all types of communications, especially when it comes to wireless communication between devices involved in controlling critical infrastructures and/or dealing with personal data. The authors propose taxonomy based on the review of recent works which have addressed the security issues in D2D communications. This taxonomy is more practical since it gives, on the one hand, a better readability and a good understanding of all the works that have addressed the security issues in the literature, and on the other hand, a roadmap towards a global security solution that combines the best techniques and security solutions inherent to each layer: physical, MAC, network and application.

A decentralized big data repository platform such as IPFS can be necessary for improving storage capability on blockchain in a distrusted MEC blockchain setting.
“Moreover, to facilitate easy access to data in a distrusted MEC blockchain setting, a decentralized big data repository platform, such as InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) can be necessary for improving storage capability on blockchain [88].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
