Methods and systems for device-to-device (D2D) communication between a first device and a second device. The first device receives a communication transmitted by the second device, where the communication is intended for another recipient other than the first device. The communication provides information for the first device to determine a preferred transmit sector to be used by the second device for the D2D communication. The first device transmits a communication to the second device that provides information indentifying the preferred transmit sector to be used by the second device. As a receiver in the D2D communication, the first device receives data from the second device, transmitted on the preferred transmit sector. As a transmitter in the D2D communication, the first device transmits data to the second device on a preferred transmit sector identified in another communication received from the second device.

Methods and systems for simultaneous transmission between a transmitter and a plurality of receivers. The transmitter receives information identifying respective preferred transmission sectors for transmission from the transmitter to each receiver. The transmitter transmits a first multi-user simultaneous transmission to a first set of two or more receivers. The first set of receivers is selected for the first set by identifying that the preferred transmission sectors for transmission to the first set of receivers are included in a first virtual grouping of two or more transmission sectors. The two or more transmission sectors belonging to the first virtual grouping are defined by the transmitter.
