Methods and devices for wireless communications in device-to-device networks

A wireless device comprising:

• a transceiver comprising an antenna arrangement with at least two antennas;
• a communication processor configured to control communications of the wireless device with at least one further wireless device included in a network of wireless devices based on data relating to mutual connections between wireless devices included in the network;
• a beamforming controller configured to control a configuration of the at least two antennas to steer at least one beam for transmission of data based on beamforming information;
• wherein the beamforming information comprises information indicative of a relative distance between the wireless device and at least two further wireless devices, and wherein the beamforming controller is configured to control the configuration of the at least two antennas to adjust an opening angle of the at least one beam for transmission of data to the at least two further wireless devices based on the relative distance.
