Claim 11:
12. An apparatus for a communication device configured with two or more multi-user coordination modes, the apparatus comprising controlling circuitry configured to cause:
determination of an available spatial selectivity for the plurality of users; and
selection of one of the two or more multi-user coordination modes based on the determined available spatial selectivity and a number of users of the plurality of users, wherein
the controlling circuitry is further configured to cause the selection of one of the two or more multi-user coordination modes by causing selection of a spatial multiple access mode when:
a number of available communication resources is less than a number of users of the plurality of users; and
a number of available communication resources for each spatially separable group of users is higher than or equal to a number of users in the group.
