Abstract
A method and system is provided for device-to-device (D2D) offloading in long term evolution (LTE) networks. The present application provides a method and system for device-to-device (D2D) offloading in long term evolution (LTE) networks, comprising processor implemented steps of selecting an offloader by a eNodeB (eNB) for a user device out of a plurality of user devices based on location of the user device and other closed proximity user devices, corresponding load and channel conditions upon receiving the offloading request from the user device; exchanging a control messages between the user device and the eNB; and between the eNB and the offloader; and scheduling of resource blocks (RBs) by the eNB for the user device and the offloader in D2D offloading.
