Growing demand for video services is the main driver for increasing trafficin wireless cellular data networks. Wireless video distribution schemes haverecently been proposed to offload data via Device-to-Device (D2D)communications. These offloading schemes increase capacity and reduceend-to-end delay in cellular networks and help to serve the dramaticallyincreasing demand for high quality video. In this paper, we propose a newscheme for video distribution over cellular networks by exploiting full-duplex(FD) D2D communication in two scenarios; scenario one: two nodes exchange theirdesired video files simultaneously with each other, and scenario two: each nodecan concurrently transmit to and receive from two different nodes. In thelatter case, an intermediate transceiver can serve one or multiple users' filerequests whilst capturing its desired file from another device in the vicinity.Analytic and simulation results are used to compare the proposed scheme withits half-duplex (HD) counterpart under the same transmitter establishmentcriteria to show the achievable gain of FD-D2D scheme in video contentdelivery, in terms of sum throughput and latency.
