1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a system comprising a processor, first information associated with a pilot channel resource for at least one directional pilot signal associated with a directional device to device (D2D) communication, wherein the directional D2D communication refers to D2D communication performing directional transmission over a D2D communication link, and wherein the directional transmission refers to transmission of a radio frequency signal in a specific direction implemented with one or more directional transmitting antennas;
sending the at least one directional pilot signal at least according to the first information;
receiving a query associated with a directional transmission capability of at least one party in both parties of a communication using a communication link of the directional D2D communication; and
sending second information associated with the directional transmission capability of the at least one party.
