Claim 0:
1. A method for managing beam alignment in a wireless communication system by a User Equipment (UE), the method comprising:
receiving beam width information and base station location information from a base station;
calculating a displacement of location of the UE from a first location to a second location of the UE based on location coordinates of the UE;
measuring a change in a signal strength of the UE after the displacement of the location of the UE with respect to a signal strength of the UE at the first location;
determining whether movement of the UE is towards or away from the base station using at least one of the beam width information, the base station location information, the displacement of location of the UE, and the measured change in the signal strength of the UE;
determining whether a beam re-alignment is required based on the determining whether the movement of the UE is towards or away from the base station;
transmitting a beam realignment request including location coordinates of the second location of the UE to the base station based on determining that the beam re-alignment is required; and
receiving a re-aligned beam width and a new transmission beam from the base station in response to the transmitted beam realignment request.
