    Abstract: The disclosure relates to 5G or pre-5G communication systems for supporting higher data transfer rates, following the 4G communication systems, such as LTE.
    The disclosure describes a method and a UE for sensor-based optimal antenna array switching in a wireless communication system. The method comprising: detecting at least one orientation parameter of the UE using one or more sensors of the UE, comparing a current signal strength parameter value of one or more serving Antenna Array Modules (AAMs) of the UE with a first threshold value or comparing a non-serving AAM monitor timer of the UE with a second threshold value, comparing at least one orientation parameter with a third threshold value based on the current signal strength parameter value of one or more serving AAMs being less than the first threshold value or based on the non-serving AAM monitor timer exceeding the second threshold value, performing measurements on one or more non-serving AAMs, and selecting at least the one or more serving AAMs and the one or more non-serving AAMs based on the measurements performed.

    Abstract: A method of beam-based communication amongst a plurality of network nodes comprises detecting, by a subject node, a presence of a first set of nodes for beam-based communication, and receiving a list of a second set of nodes from at least a first node of the first set of nodes. Further, the method includes identifying at least a second node in the second set of nodes that is not detectable for beam-based communication by the subject node. The method comprises generating a distance-based mapping including distance information relating to the first set of nodes and the second node, from the subject node. Further, the method comprises transmitting, via beam-based communication by the subject node, content to a destination node based on a communication path determined using the distance-based mapping, the destination node being a node of one of the first set of nodes and the at least second node.
