Abstract

An electronic device may include: a first antenna configured to transmit a signal or receive a signal; a second antenna configured to receive the signal; a communication circuit connected to the first antenna and the second antenna, and configured to receive data from or transmit data to a network via a first node; and a communication processor, wherein the communication processor may receive a measurement object including information related to a second node adjacent to the first node from the network. The communication processor may identify a first quality of the signal received through the first antenna and a second quality of the signal received through the second antenna. The communication processor may identify whether the first quality satisfies a report condition included in the measurement object, based on that the electronic device satisfies a designated condition. The communication processor may be configured to transmit a measurement report including the first quality to the network, based on that the first quality satisfies the report condition.

Claims (52)

1 . An electronic device comprising:

a first antenna configured to transmit a signal or receive a signal;

a second antenna configured to receive the signal;

a communication circuit connected to the first antenna and to the second antenna, and configured to receive data from and/or transmit data to a network via a first node; and

a communication processor,

wherein the communication processor is configured to:

receive a measurement object comprising information related to a second node adjacent to the first node from the network;

identify a first quality of the signal received through the first antenna and a second quality of the signal received through the second antenna;

based on that the electronic device satisfies a designated condition, identify whether the first quality satisfies a report condition included in the measurement object; and

based on that the first quality satisfies the report condition, transmit a measurement report comprising the first quality to the network.

2 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the communication processor is configured to:

based on that the electronic device does not satisfy the designated condition, identify whether a better quality among the first quality and the second quality satisfies the report condition; and

based on that the better quality satisfies the report condition, transmit the measurement report comprising the better quality to the network.

3 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the designated condition comprises occurrence of an event in which a difference in performance between the first antenna and the second antenna increases.

4 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the designated condition comprises a condition in which the first quality and the second quality are different by a designated value or greater.

5 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the designated condition comprises a condition of detecting the electronic device being connected to an external electronic device via a port.

6 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the designated condition comprises a condition of detecting a change in a state of a form factor of the electronic device.

7 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the designated condition comprises a condition in which a contact and/or approach of an external object with and/or to the electronic device is detected by a proximity sensor of the electronic device.

8 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the designated condition comprises a condition in which a service that the electronic device performs is a service requiring fast handover.

9 . An operation method of an electronic device, the method comprising:

receiving a measurement object comprising information related to a second node proximate to a first node connected to the electronic device from a network;

identifying a first quality of a signal received through a first antenna and a second quality of a signal received through a second antenna;

based on the electronic device satisfying a designated condition, identifying whether the first quality satisfies a report condition included in the measurement object; and

based on the first quality satisfying the report condition, transmitting a measurement report comprising the first quality to the network.

10 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

based on the electronic device not satisfying the designated condition, identifying whether a better quality among the first quality and the second quality satisfies the report condition; and

based on the better quality satisfying the report condition, transmitting the measurement report comprising the better quality to the network.

11 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the designated condition comprises an event in which a difference in performance between the first antenna and the second antenna increases.

12 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the designated condition comprises a condition in which the first quality and the second quality are different by a designated value or greater.

13 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the designated condition comprises a condition of detecting the electronic device being connected to an external electronic device via a port.

14 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the designated condition comprises a condition of detecting a change in a state of a form factor of the electronic device.

15 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the designated condition comprises a condition in which a contact and/or approach of an external object with and/or to the electronic device is detected by a proximity sensor of the electronic device.

16 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the designated condition comprises a condition in which a service that the electronic device performs is a service requiring fast handover.

17 . An electronic device comprising:

a first antenna;

a second antenna;

a communication circuit connected to the first antenna and to the second antenna, and configured to receive data from and/or transmit data to a network via a first node; and

a communication processor comprising processing circuitry,

wherein the communication processor is configured to:

receive a measurement object comprising information related to a second node adjacent to the first node from the network;

identify a first quality of a signal received through the first antenna and a second quality of signal received through the second antenna;

based on that the electronic device satisfies a designated condition, calibrate at least one quality among the first quality and the second quality;

identify whether the calibrated quality satisfies a report condition included in the measurement object; and

based on that the calibrated quality satisfies the report condition, transmit a measurement report comprising the calibrated quality to the network.

18 . The electronic device of claim 17 , wherein the communication processor is configured to:

based on that the electronic device satisfies the designated condition, add a designated value (offset) to at least one quality among the first quality and the second quality;

identify whether a better quality among the quality to which the designated value has been added and the other quality satisfies the report condition included in the measurement object; and

based on that the better quality satisfies the report condition, transmit the measurement report comprising the calibrated quality to the network.

19 . The electronic device of claim 18 , wherein the designated value is configured differently depending on a frequency band of the signal and a quality of the signal.

20 . The electronic device of claim 17 , wherein the communication processor is configured to:

based on that the electronic device satisfies a designated condition, identify whether a sum of a value obtained at least by applying a first weighting factor to the first quality and a value obtained at least by applying a second weighting factor to the second quality satisfies the report condition included in the measurement object; and

based on that the value satisfies the report condition, transmit the measurement report comprising the calibrated quality to the network.
