The present disclosure relates to a 5G generation or pre-5G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate than a 4G communication system such as LTE. A method of an electronic device according to various embodiments of the present disclosure includes: receiving a first signal transmitted from another electronic device in a first state through a first beam; in response to the electronic device entering a designated mode, activating a sensor for detecting a change in a state of the electronic device; in response to a detection that the state of the electronic device changes from the first state to a second state using the activated sensor, determining at least one value for indicating the second state; changing a beam for receiving a signal from the first beam to a second beam based on the determined at least one value; and receiving a second signal transmitted from the another electronic device through the second beam.
