Abstract :-Device-to-device (D2D) communication is expected to play a significant role shortly as it promises ultra-low latency for communication among users. With the advanced communication technology, the number of users and applications are increasing exponentially and leading towards the shortage of resources and an increase in power consumptions, demand for higher data rates. The data traffic on the base station also increases with the number of users. To fulfill the needs of cellular users in 5G, D2D communication considered a famous solution. However, there are several challenges associated with D2D communication. In this paper, various methods for resource management for D2D communication are discussed extensively. Other important aspects such as security and interference management are taken into consideration. In this paper, we discuss the key characteristics of D2D communication and its usage scenarios, specialised features, and areas of effective research. Finally, we conclude with the potential future research directions.
