Unanswered Questions
How does the grip sensor accurately detect changes in the user's grip?
The abstract mentions the use of a grip sensor to adjust antenna tuning, but it does not provide details on how the grip sensor functions or how it accurately detects changes in the user's grip.
What specific set conditions trigger the adjustment of antenna tuning?
The abstract mentions changing antenna tuning based on whether a set condition is satisfied, but it does not specify what these set conditions are or how they are determined.
Original Abstract Submitted
An example electronic device includes at least one sensor including a grip sensor, at least one antenna, a radio frequency (RF) circuit including at least one antenna tuning circuit connected to the at least one antenna, and at least one communication processor operatively connected to the RF circuit. The at least one communication processor is configured to, control the RF circuit to transmit a random access preamble signal based on first transmission power and a first tuning value, identify whether a random access response (RAR) signal is received via the RF circuit in response to the random access preamble signal, identify whether a set condition is satisfied, based on the RAR signal not being received, change a tuning value of the at least one antenna tuning circuit which corresponds to the grip sensor from the first tuning value to a second tuning value, based on the set condition being satisfied, and control the RF circuit to transmit the random access preamble signal based on the first transmission power or second transmission power and the second tuning value.
