Abstract

A method for operating an electronic device having a plurality of antenna modules, wherein at least one of the plurality of antenna modules is a serving module, comprises: triggering a module sweeping operation based on one or more of: a reference signal receive power (RSRP) of the serving module being below a dynamic, time-varying threshold; the RSRP of the serving module being lower than an average RSRP of the serving module when the electronic device is at a same location; an estimated angle of arrival of a beam being on an edge or outside of a coverage area of the serving module; inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensors indicating that the electronic device has rotated; or the RSRP of the serving module cannot support a predicted data requirement.
