Abstract

Disclosed is a method for forming a beam pair link, by a processor of an electronic device, including measuring a first strength of a first beam generated by a first external electronic device by using a first directional beam formed in a first direction through at least one antenna module of an electronic device, measuring, based on the number of measurements, a second strength of a second beam generated by at least one of the first external electronic device and a second external electronic device by using a second directional beam formed in a second direction different from the first direction, and replacing at least one threshold with another threshold to be used for changing the current beam pair link for the communication with the external electronic device, the replacing being based at least in part on a determination that at least one strength of the first strength of the first beam or the second strength of the second beam satisfies a specified condition, wherein the number of measurements is defined for measuring, by using a directional beam, a strength of a plurality of beams having different directions and generated by at least one external electronic device, and wherei…
