Abstract

The present invention discloses a method of transmitting signal by a terminal. The method comprises determining a direction of at least one antenna based on power loss tolerance of the signal and angle tolerance of the at least one antenna; and transmitting the signal based on the direction of the at least one antenna, wherein the power loss tolerance of the signal is determined at maximum of 2 dB.

Claims (10)

1. A method of transmitting signal by a terminal, the method comprising: selecting an effective isotropic sensitivity (EIS) beam direction of at least one antenna of the terminal; based on the selected EIS, determining an equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) of the at least one antenna based on a power loss tolerance of the signal and an angle tolerance of the at least one antenna; and transmitting the signal based on the determined ERR of the at least one antenna, wherein the power loss tolerance of the signal is determined at maximum of 2 dB.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the angle tolerance of the at least one antenna is determined at maximum of ±18 degrees in a horizontal direction and at maximum of X18 degrees in a vertical direction.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the angle tolerance of the at least one antenna is determined based on the power loss tolerance of the signal.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the angle tolerance of the at least one antenna is further determined based on a number of antennas of the at least one antenna.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the at least one antenna includes two horizontal antennas and two vertical antennas.

6. A communication device comprising: a transceiver configured to transmit a signal; at least one antenna; and a processor configured to control the transceiver, wherein the processor is further configured to: select an effective isotropic sensitivity (EIS) beam direction of at least one antenna, based on the selected EIS, determine an equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) of the at least one antenna based on a power loss tolerance of the signal and an angle tolerance of the at least one antenna, and control the transceiver to transmit the signal based on the determined ERR of the at least one antenna, wherein the power loss tolerance of the signal is determined at maximum of 2 dB.

7. The communication device of claim 6 , wherein the angle tolerance of the at least one antenna is determined at maximum of ±18 degrees in a horizontal direction and at maximum of ±18 degrees in a vertical direction.

8. The communication device of claim 6 , wherein the angle tolerance of the at least one antenna is determined based on the power loss tolerance of the signal.

9. The communication device of claim 8 , wherein the angle of at least one antenna is further determined based on a number of antennas of the at least one antenna.

10. The communication device of claim 9 , wherein the at least one antenna includes two horizontal antennas and two vertical antennas.
