Popis: Wireless communication devices have spread widely in our society. However, they usually depend heavily on communication infrastructure, leaving them vulnerable to disasters or congestion of base stations. In these situations, a method to send out data without the support of infrastructure is required. Data transmission by D2D communication is a reliable method that does not rely on infrastructure. In this paper, we aim to improve the data dissemination using D2D transmission by applying the concept of assigning “modes” to devices according to their own mobility. In our study, we assume a multi-channel environment, where devices will be allocated different amounts of frequency channels according to their modes. We propose a mode selection function that uses velocity information of the devices to assign modes. By using this function, it is possible to allocate more frequency channels to devices of high mobility, so that they can transmit their data to more devices as they move through a wide area. By mathematical analysis, we evaluate the fairness of disseminated data density among devices of various velocities and the obtained results indicate the effectiveness of the proposed method for improving the efficiency of data dissemination.
