Abstract
The present disclosure includes a method and apparatus for sensor assisted beam selection. A method for sensor assisted beam selection includes receiving an input from a sensor indicating a presence of an obstacle proximate to the sensor. The method further includes identifying an antenna module proximate to the sensor. The method further includes deactivating at least a portion of the identified antenna module based on the input from the sensor.
