Abstract
Disclosed is an electronic device including a plurality of antennas, a plurality of radio frequency circuits, a first transceiver, a second transceiver, a switching circuit configured to connect the plurality of radio frequency circuits to the first transceiver or the second transceiver, a processor, and a memory. The electronic device may be configured to switch a receiving path by connecting at least one of a plurality of receiving paths to another transceiver based on reception performance of the plurality of receiving paths.
Claims20
An electronic device comprising:
- a plurality of antennas;
- a plurality of radio frequency circuits respectively connected to the plurality of antennas;
- a first transceiver;
- a second transceiver;
- a switching circuit configured to connect the plurality of radio frequency circuits to the first transceiver and/or the second transceiver;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory,
- wherein the memory stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the electronic device to:
- form at least one transmitting path and a plurality of first receiving paths by connecting the plurality of radio frequency circuits to the first transceiver using the switching circuit;
- receive data through the plurality of first receiving paths;
- and
- switch at least one of the plurality of first receiving paths by connecting at least one of the plurality of radio frequency circuits to the second transceiver using the switching circuit based on reception performance associated with the plurality of first receiving paths.
A method for receiving data by an electronic device comprising a plurality of antennas, the method comprising:
- forming at least one transmitting path and a plurality of first receiving paths by connecting a plurality of radio frequency circuits respectively connected to the plurality of antennas to a first transceiver of the electronic device;
- receiving data through the plurality of first receiving paths;
- and
- switching at least one of the plurality of first receiving paths by connecting at least one of the plurality of radio frequency circuits to a second transceiver of the electronic device based on reception performance associated with the plurality of first receiving paths.
