Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for providing adaptive beamforming techniques in LTE networks are provided. In embodiments, the method includes identifying user devices associated with device to device (D2D) groups in a sector. Unused static uplink beams provided by the sector are determined. In embodiments, the unused static uplink beams are allocated to user devices associated with the D2D groups. The unused static uplink beams are reallocated for other activities.
