This paper proposes a new transmission strategy for device-to-device (D2D) multicast cooperative communication systems based on Simultaneous Wireless Information and Power Transfer (SWIPT) technology. The transmission block is divided into two slots. In the first slot, the source user transmits the information and energy to the help user by SWIPT. In the second slot, the help user uses the cellular spectrum and forwards the information to multiple receivers by using harvested energy. In this paper, we aim to maximize the total system rate, and to tackle the problem, we propose a two-step scheme: In the first step, the resource allocation problem is solved by linear programming. In the second step, the power-splitting coefficient value is obtained by taking the benefit of help user into account. Numerical results show that the proposed strategy not only effectively improves the overall throughput and spectrum efficiency but also motivates the cooperation.

Video streaming is expected to acquire a massive share of the global internet traffic in the near future. Meanwhile, it is expected that most of the global traffic will be carried over wireless networks. This trend translates into considerable challenges for Service Providers (SP) in terms of maintaining consumers' Quality of Experience (QoE), energy consumption, utilisation of wireless resources, and profitability. However, the majority of Radio Resource Allocation (RRA) algorithms only consider enhancing Quality of Service (QoS) and network parameters. Since this approach may end up with unsatisfied customers in the future, it is essential to develop innovative RRA algorithms that adopt a user-centric approach based on users' QoE. This chapter focus on wireless video over Critical communication systems that are inspired by QoE perceived by end users. This chapter presents a background to introduce the reader to this area, followed by a review of the related up-to-date literature.
