  The growth in wireless traffic and mobility of devices have congested the
core network significantly. This bottleneck, along with spectrum scarcity, made
the conventional cellular networks insufficient for the dissemination of large
contents. In this paper, we propose a novel scheme that enables efficient
initialization of CCN-based D2D networks in the mmWave band through addressing
decentralized D2D peer association and antenna beamwidth selection. The
proposed scheme considers mmWave characteristics such as directional
communication and blockage susceptibility. We propose a heuristic peer
association algorithm to associate D2D users using context information,
including link stability time and content availability. The performance of the
proposed scheme in terms of data throughput and transmission efficiency is
evaluated through extensive simulations. Simulation results show that the
proposed scheme improves network performance significantly and outperforms
other methods in the literature.
