Abstract

A mobile communication system and a usage scenario determination method for the same are provided. The usage scenario determination method comprises: determining a first antenna scenario based on a first impedance measurement on a first transmission antenna; determining a second antenna scenario based on either a second impedance measurement on a second transmission antenna or a sensor information or a receiving antenna tuner states sweeping result; and determining a usage scenario of the mobile communication system based on both the first antenna scenario and the second antenna scenario.
