1. A method performed by a node of a wireless communication system, for performing an iterative process, wherein the iterative process comprises:
- receiving, from a first wireless communication device, spatial sensor data relating to the first wireless communication device;
recording the received spatial sensor data such that a time sequence of historical and current spatial sensor data relating to the first wireless communication device is maintained; and
calculating, using data of the time sequence of historical and current spatial sensor data relating to the first wireless communication device, predicted spatial data for use in controlling at least one antenna beam in the wireless communication system.

Abstract
Spatial sensor data, such as position, movement and rotation, which is provided by a sensor in a wireless communication device in a wireless communication system is used. By using the spatial sensor data it is possible to calculate predicted spatial data for use in controlling antenna beams for transmission as well as reception in the wireless communication system.
