Methods and apparatuses are provided method for operating a terminal. A motion pattern of at least one of the terminal or a peer terminal communicating with the terminal is determined in a time interval. A channel quality of a channel between the terminal and the peer terminal is determined in time intervals after the time interval based on the motion pattern in the time interval. At least one first time interval among the time intervals in which the channel quality is greater than or equal to a threshold value and at least one second time interval among the time intervals in which the channel quality is less than the threshold value are determined. Data in the at least one first time interval is transmitted to the peer terminal.
