Abstract:
A method performed by a first wireless device (121) is provided. The method comprises transmitting (503) a radio signal towards the at least one second wireless device indicating that the first wireless device is, or that the at least one second wireless device has an option to be, responsible for beamforming of transmissions over the direct D2D communication link. The method also comprises receiving (505) information from the at least one second wireless device indicating which of the first wireless device or the at least one second wireless device is to be responsible for beamforming of transmissions over the direct D2D communication link. Further, the method comprises configuring (506), based on the received information, which of the first wireless device or the at least one second wireless device is to be responsible for beamforming of transmissions over the direct D2D communication link.
