So, the enhancement of any technology will reflect on the whole system. However, the improvement in the peering selection process will enhance the D2D communication performance that will reflect on the overall network performance and move forward to implement more technologies in the network. This paper aims to provide a review of the peering selection process and explain the main factors that could enhance performance. Also, it explains the importance of making the selection by considering the social relationship between users. The procedure of peering selection should be accurate and prevent privacy leakage that can be achieved if the peering selection considers the right factors in terms of social relationship and connection status. © 2021 Proceedings of 6th International Conference on Internet Applications, Protocols and Services: Enduring Internet's Use and Growth in the Pandemic Era, NETAPPS 2020.
