The cellular systems require the signals to travel through a base station BS that entirely controls the communication taking place between two devices. However, device to device communication reduces the load on a base station and enables two devices in close proximity to communicate directly. This is known as a device centric approach. Sectorization involves replacing an omnidirectional antenna with directional antennas, achieved by having three or six sectors. In this paper, a smart sectorization scheme is presented that enables the number of sectors to change in accordance with the number of D2D users and hence reduces interference.
