Abstract: With the drastic growth of mobile smart devices and widespread use of various video traffic,the next generation wireless networks will face the explosive increase of data traffic.Meanwhile,the uneven distribution of users leads to an unbalanced distribution of cellular traffic.Device-to-device (D2D)-based traffic offloading is a cost-effective technique to solve the surging cellular traffic and unbalanced traffic distribution.Firstly,according to the role of D2D in traffic offloading,this paper divided D2D-based traffic offloading into two categories,i.e.,regarding D2D communication as target and regarding D2D communication as relaying.Secondly,this paper provided a detailed overview of the advantages and disadvantages of each category.Finally,this paper proposed potential research directions in D2D-based traffic offloading.

Key words: Cellular congestion, D2D communications, D2D relay, Traffic offloading
