3. Introduction
With the massive increase of heterogeneous wireless devices, connectivity and traffic volume become a design challenge for the 5G cellular system. It is expected that the data traffic in will be 200 times much higher than that in , and for 2030 data traffic will be 20,000 times higher than that of 2010.
Moreover, 5G cellular system is required to achieve high
throughput, ultra-low latency, high reliability, high
connectivity and high mobility

4. Introduction (cont’d)
Some technologies should be employed at the core network
Software Defined Networking (SDN)

9. Propose system
We present a frame work for the 5G cellular system based on D2D communication and Multi- level cloud units at the edge of the network

11. Propose system (cont’d)
Part one: Cloudlet Tier:
Ordinary Device (OD)
Sensing Device (SD)
Master Device (MD)
Gateway Device (GD)
GD is a wireless device with a powerful hardware capable of providing some computing processes.

13. Propose system (cont’d)
Part two: Micro-cloud Tier:
Micro-cloud unit is a small data centers with limited processing and storage capabilities connected to the eNB through a very high speed fiber cables.
Evolved Node B (eNB):
eNB is a complex base station that handles radio communications with multiple devices in the cell and carries out radio resource management and handover decisions.

15. Propose system (cont’d)
Part three: Mini-cloud Tier:
Mini-cloud unit consists of powerful data centers that can serve, monitor and control the connected Micro- cloud units.
Without the existence of Mini-cloud unit, the unperformed tasks at Micro-cloud units would be shifted far to the main central clouds passing through the core network.

17. Propose system (cont’d)
Part Four: Main cloud Tier
This main cloud unit acts as the gateway to the Internet public clouds (e.g., Microsoft Azure, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) and Google AppEngine).

18. Propose system (cont’d)
These benefits can be summarized in the following points:
Reduction of the traffic load in the core network
Reduction of round trip latency
Reduction of network congestion
Achieving higher throughput
Increasing energy efficiency
Better cell coverage
Increasing the spectral efficiency

19. Simulation and Result
The system simulation is built with Java language and implemented using Matlab R2015b
In order to evaluate the system performance, we consider four simulation scenarios:
Scenario (A): the network is simulated without D2D communication and the multi-level clouds.
Scenario (B): the network is simulated with the employment of D2D communication

20. Simulation and Result (cont’d)
Scenario (C): through this scenario we employ the Micro-cloud tier.
Scenario (D): In this scenario we simulate the system with the existence of Mini-cloud unit connected to Micro-cloud unit

23. Simulation and Result (cont’d)
The performance metric used in all scenarios is the blocking probability ( 𝑃 𝑏 ), which is presents the ratio of the overall rejected work load to the total workload.

25. Conclusions
Simulation results illustrate that the worst case is the employment of the network without D2D and cloud levels. The best case is when employing D2D with all levels of cloud units.

26. Future work
Our future vision is to comprise the SDN and NFV to the core of the network of the proposed system.
