description Device-to-Device (D2D) relaying helps improve the coverage range and throughput of the millimeter Wave (mmWave) networks. This work focuses on improving the uplink throughput in a single-cell mmWave-based Internet-of-Things (IoT) network. The key factors involve the placement of relays and neighbor selection (NS) (<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$, i.e$ </tex-math></inline-formula>., the process of selecting source IoTs within the relay node&#x2019;s coverage range). The problem is formulated using model-based bandits, and the associated structural results are analyzed. Considering the resource-constrained nature of IoTs, we have developed a simple rule-based NS as an alternative to computationally intensive learning-based neighbor-selection processes from state of the art. By utilizing the rule-based NS, we show that there exists a conducive coverage range (called a friendly neighborhood) for the relay node to choose the neighbors. Accordingly, a geometry-based relay placement mechanism is proposed to maximize the uplink throughput. The optimality of the proposed solutions is shown analytically, and their performance concerning the state of the art is evaluated using extensive simulation.
