Licensed spectrum continues to be scarce and expensive, and while there areefforts to make additional bands available for mobile communications, they are notenough to meet the expected capacity demand. Instead, mobile broadband pro-viders need to find new ways to boost capacity on their existing cellular bands [7].One promising method is network-assisted D2D, as evidenced by the rich amountof literature on this topic, covering a range of network assistance levels. At oneend, network assistance is as simple as providing synchronization for communi-cating devices (e.g., Aura-net [8]). At the other, the network manages each D2Dconnection, enabling them to act as an underlay tier in the cellular network [9]
