A method for interference avoidance, comprising: a network node (102, 306) obtaining first candidate beam information identifying a first set of one or more candidate beams for a first wireless communication device, WCD, being served by the network node, the first set of candidate beams for the first WCD comprising a first candidate beam having a first direction; the network node obtaining second candidate beam information identifying a second set of one or more candidate beams for a second WCD being served by the network node, the second set of candidate beams for the second WCD comprising a second candidate beam having a second direction; the network node, using the first and second candidate beam information, scheduling i) the transmission of first data to the first WCD and ii) the transmission of second data to the second WCD, wherein the scheduling of the transmissions comprises: selecting a transmission resource for use in transmitting the first data to the first WCD, selecting a transmission resource for use in transmitting the second data to the second WCD, and determining whether the first direction is different than the second direction, wherein selecting the transmission resource for use in transmitting the first data to the first WCD further comprises selecting a candidate beam from the first set of candidate beams for the first WCD; selecting the transmission resource for use in transmitting the second data to the second WCD further comprises selecting a candidate beam from the second set of candidate beams for the second WCD, wherein selecting a candidate beam from the first set of candidate beams for the first WCD comprises: 1) determining a first subset of candidate beams for the first WCD, wherein each candidate beam included in the first subset of candidate beams is a) included in the first set of candidate beams and b) not included in the second set of candidate beams, and 2) selecting a candidate beam from the first subset of candidate beams; and selecting a candidate beam from the second set of candidate beams for the second WCD comprises: 1) determining a second subset of candidate beams for the second WCD, wherein each candidate beam included in the second subset of candidate beams is a) included in the second set of candidate beams and b) not included in the first set of candidate beams, and 2) selecting a candidate beam from the second subset of candidate beams, wherein selecting a transmission resource for use in transmitting the first data to the first WCD comprises selecting a frequency band in which the transmission of the first data to the first WCD will occur, and selecting a transmission resource for use in transmitting the second data to the second WCD comprises selecting a frequency band in which the transmission of the second data to the second WCD will occur. a network node (102, 306) obtaining first candidate beam information identifying a first set of one or more candidate beams for a first wireless communication device, WCD, being served by the network node, the first set of candidate beams for the first WCD comprising a first candidate beam having a first direction;
