The present disclosure relates to a method and device for optimizing multiple radio frequency (RF) module operation of a user equipment (UE) in a wireless network. The method comprises: activating a first RF module from a plurality of RF modules available at the UE for communication with a serving beam in a serving cell while remaining RF modules are inactive, select at least one RF module from the remaining inactivate RF modules to measure at least one neighbor beam from a plurality of neighbor beams of each neighbor cell, and create a list of available neighbor beams in neighbor cells based on the measurements, determining whether a signal strength associated with the serving beam meets a signal criteria, and performing one of continuing communication with the serving beam using the first RF module in response to determining that the signal strength associated with the serving beam does not meet the signal criteria, and switching the communication from the serving beam to the at least one neighbor beam based on the measurement for continuing the communication in response to determining that the signal strength associated with the serving beam meets the signal criteria.
