Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 11:
12. A method comprising:
communicating, using at least one processor, with a communication hub using a first antenna group of a plurality of antenna groups of an electronic device;
determining, using the at least one processor, a first temperature of the first antenna group and a second temperature of a second antenna group of the plurality of antenna groups;
determining, using the at least one processor, that the first temperature exceeds a temperature threshold and the second temperature is less than the temperature threshold;
determining, using the at least one processor, that a power gain of the second antenna group exceeds a gain threshold when forming a beam; and
in response to determining that the first temperature exceeds the temperature threshold, the second temperature is less than the temperature threshold, and the power gain of the second antenna group exceeds the gain threshold when forming the beam, forming, using the at least one processor, the beam using the second antenna group.
