  • Publication number: 20160141753
    Abstract: In a method for selecting an antenna of an electronic device, one or more sensors are used to detect whether all of the antennas of the electronic device are approached by external objects. When all of the antennas are approached by the external objects, an approached antenna which has a largest value of received signal strength indication is selected. When not all of the antennas are approached by the external objects, an antenna which has a largest value of received signal strength indication and is not approached is selected. The selected antenna is set for transmitting and receiving wireless signals.
