Abstract
A device including a plurality of antennas may sense or receive data related to a magnetic field. A strength of the magnetic field may be determined. Based on the strength of the magnetic field, a location or orientation of the device may be determined. The location of the device may be used to select an antenna from the plurality of antennas for transmitting data from the device or receiving data at the device. If the location of the device is associated with historical performance data, the historical performance data may be used to select an antenna from the plurality of antennas.
