Abstract

An electronic device comprises a first communication circuit configured to transmit at least one radio frequency (RF) signal, at least one antenna structure, electrically coupled to the first communication circuit, and including a plurality of antenna elements, at least one processor operatively coupled to the first communication circuit, and memory operatively coupled to the at least one processor. The memory stores instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the processor to perform a plurality of operation. The plurality of operations comprises identifying mobility information of the electronic device, identifying a beam width of a beam formed by at least a part of the plurality of antenna elements based on at least part of the mobility information of the electronic device, the beam being used to search for or communicate with an external electronic device, and forming the beam having the identified beam width.
