Title:
ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR OPERATING ANTENNA MODULE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SAME
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2022/055164
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a device for activating a radio frequency (RF) module which is to be used efficiently in an electronic device that operates a plurality of RF modules (or antenna modules) in a wireless communication system, and to a method for controlling same. To this end, the electronic device checks the temperatures of the plurality of antenna modules using a first frequency band, and identifies candidate antenna modules in consideration of the temperatures of the plurality of antenna modules. The electronic device selects a serving antenna module from among the candidate antenna modules so that an available temperature state, in which the temperatures of the candidate antenna modules are lower than a threshold temperature, is maintained, and transmits and receives a signal using the first frequency band in the serving antenna module. Here, the candidate antenna modules may be antenna modules which support communication performance of a threshold level or higher.
