Electronic device for detecting directions of neighboring devices in wireless communication system, and operation method thereof

Abstract

Provided are an electronic device and an operation method of the electronic device for finding a direction of a neighboring device effectively in a wireless communication system without additional hardware. According to the present disclosure, there is provided an electronic device for finding a direction of a neighboring device in a wireless communication system, the electronic device includes an antenna array including a first antenna and a second antenna for receiving a radio frequency (RF) signal, an antenna switch configured to switch antennas for receiving the RF signal among the plurality of antennas, and a controller. The controller is configured to control the antenna switch to receive the RF signal from the neighboring device through the first antenna, control the antenna switch to switch from the first antenna to the second antenna to receive the RF signal during a time interval in which an error detection code is detected, and detect the direction in which the neighboring device is located based on a result of decoding the error detection code.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
