19. A method, comprising:
receiving, by network device including a processor, a first report from a first communication device, wherein the first report includes a first beam identifier associated with the first communication device, wherein the network device is associated with a mobile communication network;
obtaining, by the network device, a second beam identifier associated with a second communication device;
determining, by the network device, that the first communication device and the second communication device do not share same beam identification according to the first beam identifier and the second beam identifier; and
responsive to determining that the first communication device and the second communication device do not share the same beam identification, generating, by the network device, a multi-user (MU) multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) group including the first communication device and the second communication device based on the first beam identifier and the second beam identifier.
