Patent ID: 11910418
Assignee: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.
Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 4:
5. An electronic device, comprising:
a first communication circuit performing first wireless communication using a first frequency band;
a second communication circuit performing second wireless communication using a second frequency band;
a processor operatively connected with the first communication circuit and the second communication circuit; and
a memory operatively connected with the processor, wherein
the memory stores instructions configured to, when executed, enable the processor to:
perform a communication connection with a first base station using the first communication circuit;
perform wireless communication in a first operation, which is one of a single uplink operation (SUO) or a dual uplink operation (DUO), with a second base station using the second communication circuit;
determine whether to switch to a second operation, which is different from the first operation, based on information measured or identified using the first communication circuit or the second communication circuit while performing the first operation; and
transmit a first message indicating to switch from the first operation to the second operation to the first base station based on the determination,
wherein the first operation is the dual uplink operation (DUO), and the second operation is the single uplink operation (SUO), and
wherein the instructions are configured to enable the processor to:
measure a communication status with the second base station based on at least one of a number of retransmissions of the first base station, a reception failure rate of the electronic device, or a bit error rate (BER) of a packet received from the first base station, during the dual uplink operation; and
transmit the first message to the first base station based on a result of the measurement.
