Abstract
A system, apparatus, method, and non-transitory computer readable medium for providing autonomous beam switching for user equipment (UE) within a cell coverage area of a high-altitude platform station (HAPS) network device, the HAPS network device may be caused the HAPS network device to, determine beam layer information corresponding to the plurality of beam layers; transmit the beam layer information to the at least one UE; receive an autonomous beam switch request from the at least one UE in response to the transmitted beam layer information, the request including beam switch parameters; determine a selected beam layer based on the beam switch parameters; and enable communication with the at least one UE using the selected beam layer.
