An adaptive social-aware device-to-device communication mechanism for wireless networks

through verifying the relationship between peers, and dividing the available peers into trusted peers and untrusted peers. The technical evaluation is based on HAW algorithm by including multi-attributes related to the connection quality to find the optimum trusted peer while excluding untrusted peers from the ranking. Secondly, the mode selection scheme evaluates the available modes based on the connection status while considering multi-attributes based on SAW algorithm to select and switch among available modes intelligently, based on the highest-ranking, to select the optimum mode. In this study, the proposed scenario considers the status of different numbers of users in the network to evaluate the proposed mechanism, and compared with two other recent approaches. The obtained results showed that the proposed mechanism outperforms other approaches in terms of delay, signal-to-noise ratio, delivery ratio, and throughput with better performance. It provides smooth switching between different modes and employs an automatic peering selection with trusted peers only.
