Abstract

A communication device includes an evaluator configured to evaluate one or more criteria, wherein a first criterion of the one or more criteria includes detecting an object, a determiner configured to determine one or more beam pairs from a plurality of potential beam pairs to use in communications with a second device based on the evaluation of the one or more criteria and transmit an indication of one or more partner-side beams of a selected beam pair of the one or more beam pairs to the second device, and a beam controller configured to adjust an antenna to communicate with the second device via a device-side beam of the selected beam pair.
