Electronic device for activating diversity tx mode and method for the same

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing at least one program comprising instructions that cause the electronic device to perform operations when executed individually or collectively by at least one processor of the electronic device,

• wherein the instructions, when executed individually or collectively by the at least one processor, cause the electronic device to:
• perform short-range wireless communication with an external electronic device;
• control the communication circuitry to activate a diversity transmission mode configured to output signals containing the same data through each of the plural antennas, based at least in part on the quality of the signal received from the external electronic device being less than a first value, when the angle between a first housing structure of the electronic device and a second housing structure of the electronic device is less than a designated size;
• and
• control the communication circuitry to activate a diversity transmission mode, when the angle between the first housing structure and the second housing structure is greater than or equal to a designated size, based at least in part on the quality of the signal received from the external electronic device being less than a second value, and
• wherein the first value is greater than the second value.

A method of operating an electronic device comprising a housing including a first housing structure and a second housing structure foldable or movable with respect to each other, the method comprising:

• performing short-range wireless communication with an external electronic device;
• controlling communication circuitry of the electronic device to activate a diversity transmission mode that outputs signals containing the same data through each of the plurality of antennas, in the case that the angle between the first housing structure and the second housing structure is less than the designated size, based at least in part on the quality of the signal received from the external electronic device being less than the first value;
• and
• controlling the communication circuitry to activate the diversity transmission mode, in the case that the angle between the first housing structure and the second housing structure is greater than the designated size, based at least in part on the quality of the signal received from the external electronic device being less than the second value, and
• wherein the first value is greater than the second value.

An electronic device comprising:

• a plurality of antennas;
• communication circuitry configured to support short-range wireless communication;
• a memory storing at least one computer program containing instructions;
• and
• at least one processor, comprising processing circuitry, wherein:
• at least one processor, individually and/or collectively, is configured to execute the instructions and to cause the electronic device to:
• perform short-range wireless communication with an external electronic device;
• control the communication circuitry to activate a diversity transmission mode configured to output signals containing the same data through each of the plural antennas based at least in part on a quality of the signal received from the external electronic device being less than or equal to a first value, based on the electronic device satisfying a designated condition;
• and
• control the communication circuitry to activate the diversity transmission mode based at least in part on the quality of the signal received from the external electronic device being less than a second value, based on the electronic device not satisfying the designated condition, and
• wherein the first value is greater than the second value.
