Multiple Choice

To achieve intelligent device-to-device communication, devices require which of the following?

Routing protocols determine how devices in a network find and maintain paths for messages, which is essential for device-to-device communication. In D2D scenarios, there may be no fixed infrastructure, so devices must discover neighbors, choose efficient multi-hop routes, and adapt as devices move or power levels change. Intelligent routing protocols provide the rules for route discovery, selection, and maintenance, enabling direct communication between devices or through dynamic, scalable paths. The other options point to infrastructure components or vague ideas rather than the mechanism that actually guides how routes are found and kept up, so they don’t address how devices reliably communicate in a changing, decentralized environment.
