Performance Evaluation of Proximity Services and Wi-Fi for Public Safety Mission Critical Voice Application

Performance Evaluation of Proximity Services and Wi-Fi for Public Safety Mission Critical Voice Application

Proximity Services (ProSe) and Wi-Fi are two promising technologies that may provide support for Mission Critical Voice (MCV) applications in remote and rural areas by enabling Device-to-Device (D2D) communication. In this paper, several performance metrics of ProSe and Wi-Fi are evaluated and compa...
