Joint Resource Allocation and Drones Relay Selection for Large-Scale D2D Communication Underlaying Hybrid VLC/RF IoT Systems

Relay-aided Device-to-Device (D2D) communication combining visible light communication (VLC) with radio frequency (RF) is a promising paradigm in the internet of things (IoT). Static relay limits the flexibility and maintaining connectivity of relays in Hybrid VLC/RF IoT systems. By using a drone as...
