1. A network device for cyclic communication, the network device comprising:
a processor configured to
provide first information defining a hopping pattern to multiple wireless communication devices, wherein the hopping pattern comprises different hopping sequences, including one hopping sequence for each of the multiple wireless communication devices;
wherein each hopping sequence specifies at least two spatial resources, or at least two radio resources, or at least two spatial resources and at least two radio resources, to be used by the respective wireless communication devices for transmissions to or from the network device;
receive a measurement of at least one of a signal strength or a signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio, SINR, from at least one wireless communication device, Transmission-Reception Point, TRP, or another network device, and calculate the hopping sequence using the received measurement; and
provide second information to a wireless communication device of the multiple wireless communication devices defining when the hopping sequence should be periodically repeated.
