Abstract
An electronic device and methods for performing low-latency, low-power beam management are disclosed herein. An electronic device for performing low-latency, low-power beam management comprises a plurality of antenna modules and a processor. The processor is configured to determine a number of active antenna modules to include in a set of active antenna modules, and select the set of active antenna modules, from among the plurality of antenna modules, based on a spherical coverage of the set of active antenna modules and based on information on blockage states of the plurality of antenna modules.
