Abstract: Device‐to‐device (D2D) and millimeter‐wave (mmW) communications play an important role in the design of future wireless communication systems since they are mature and resource‐efficient technologies. Integrating both technologies while retaining the benefit they offer in isolation is challenging. In this article, we review the literature on mmW‐based D2D proposals to enable network applications and service extensions that span from network‐controlled use cases to opportunistic solutions for direct data exchange, caching, and relay. The survey unveils that, although a large effort has been devoted to the study of D2D with mmW, we are still far from a full analytical and experimental characterization of the system. More effort is needed in view of 5G and beyond, to consider the integration of network computing elements and to protect mmW‐based D2D against security threats
