1. A method, comprising:
in a relay device that comprises a plurality of distributed transceivers, wherein each distributed transceiver of the relay device comprises an antenna array comprising a plurality of antenna elements:
configuring a beamforming setting for the antenna array of a first set of distributed transceivers in the plurality of distributed transceivers of the relay device to establish a first link between the relay device and a source device;
configuring a beamforming setting for the antenna array of a second set of distributed transceivers in the plurality of distributed transceivers of the relay device to establish a second link between the relay device and a destination device; and
concurrently receiving a data stream from the source device through the first link and forwarding the data stream to the destination device through the second link, wherein the received data stream is forwarded to the destination device, and
wherein configuring the beamforming setting for the antenna array of the first set of distributed transceivers and second set of distributed transceivers comprises selecting the distributed transceivers in the first set of distributed transceivers and the second set of distributed transceivers such that a spatial profile for the first link is different from a spatial profile for the second link.
