Abstract
The present invention is for beam selection for communication, and an electronic device may include a housing, at least one antenna array including antenna elements disposed in the housing, or formed in part of the housing, at least one processor electrically or operatively connected with the antenna array, and configured to form a plurality of reception beams (rx beams) having different directions, using the antenna array, and a memory operatively connected with the processor. The memory may stores instructions for causing the processor to measure, by using the plurality of the rx beams, signal strength values of a plurality of tx beams transmitted from at least one base station and having different directions, generate measurement results of (the number of the rx beams)×(the number of the tx beams), and select one of a plurality of methods for selecting one beam pair from among the (the number of the rx beams)×(the number of the tx beams)-ary beam pairs, based at least in part on the measurement results.
