Abstract
The influence of social interactions among mobile devices and network components in wireless networks has attracted substantial attention due to its potential impact on resource allocation of spectrum and power in particular. We present an organized social graphical view on resource allocation and then extend to multi-objective resource allocation of wireless networks. We subsequently consider taking advantage of multi-dimensional resources, including radio resource, user behavior, and content characteristics, such that we can successfully integrate caching capability, interest similarity, and content popularity and distribution into wireless network design. As an illustration, device-to-device communications is utilized to form pairs and clusters of mobile devices regarding optimal resource matching via a bipartite graph. This socially enabled methodology highlights new potential to design wireless networks and 5G mobile communications.
