A method of operating a wireless electronic device having one or more antennas, the method comprising: monitoring at least one parameter of a signal received from a remote transmitter; determining that the at least one monitored parameter meets a threshold and performing, at the wireless electronic device, a probing operation, wherein the probing operation comprises: performing an antenna switching operation that switches from a first antenna scheme to a second antenna scheme, wherein the first antenna scheme is different from the second antenna scheme, generating first signal information of the received signal prior to the antenna switching operation, generating second signal information of the received signal subsequent to the antenna switching operation, determining whether the antenna switching operation achieves a desired gain based at least in part on the generated first and second signal information, in response to the desired gain being achieved, operating in accordance with the second antenna scheme, and in response to the desired gain not being achieved, reversing the antenna switching operation and operating in accordance with the first antenna scheme, characterised in that generating the first signal information of the received signal comprises receiving signal feedback information from the remote transmitter. monitoring at least one parameter of a signal received from a remote transmitter; determining that the at least one monitored parameter meets a threshold and performing, at the wireless electronic device, a probing operation, wherein the probing operation comprises: performing an antenna switching operation that switches from a first antenna scheme to a second antenna scheme, wherein the first antenna scheme is different from the second antenna scheme, generating first signal information of the received signal prior to the antenna switching operation, generating second signal information of the received signal subsequent to the antenna switching operation, determining whether the antenna switching operation achieves a desired gain based at least in part on the generated first and second signal information, in response to the desired gain being achieved, operating in accordance with the second antenna scheme, and in response to the desired gain not being achieved, reversing the antenna switching operation and operating in accordance with the first antenna scheme, performing an antenna switching operation that switches from a first antenna scheme to a second antenna scheme, wherein the first antenna scheme is different from the second antenna scheme, generating first signal information of the received signal prior to the antenna switching operation, generating second signal information of the received signal subsequent to the antenna switching operation, determining whether the antenna switching operation achieves a desired gain based at least in part on the generated first and second signal information, in response to the desired gain being achieved, operating in accordance with the second antenna scheme, and in response to the desired gain not being achieved, reversing the antenna switching operation and operating in accordance with the first antenna scheme, characterised in that generating the first signal information of the received signal comprises receiving signal feedback information from the remote transmitter.
