An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a communication circuit including at least one antenna, a memory, and a processor operatively connected with the communication circuit and the memory. The memory includes instructions, when executed, causing the processor to identify a communication state of the communication circuit, adjust a characteristic of the antenna to a wideband characteristic including a first wireless-fidelity (Wi-Fi) band and a second Wi-Fi band by means of the communication circuit to scan a Wi-Fi communication channel, when the identified communication state is a state where the Wi-Fi communication channel is scanned, and adjust the characteristic of the antenna to a narrowband characteristic corresponding to a determined communication channel to perform Wi-Fi communication, when the identified communication state is a state where the Wi-Fi communication channel to communicate is determined.

User equipment that is capable of filtering for an irregular bandwidth of an allocated channel may send an indication of this capability to a network, which may then configure the channel to a next higher standard channel size, enabling the user equipment to filter this larger channel bandwidth to the irregular bandwidth. User equipment that is not capable of filtering for the irregular bandwidth may send an indication that it does not have this capability to the network, which may then configure the channel to a next lower standard channel size, thus avoiding the need for the user equipment to filter a larger channel bandwidth to the irregular bandwidth. In cases where the network detects that a blocking signal is not present that may interfere with the allocated channel, the network may configure the channel to the next higher standard channel size.

Systems and methods are disclosed herein that relate to a wireless device that intelligently uses different reference crystal oscillators (XOs) for a Phase Locked Loop(s) (PLL(s)) in a transceiver of the wireless device. Embodiments of a method of operation of a wireless device comprising a first XO that operates at a first reference frequency and a second XO that operates at a second reference frequency that is greater than the first reference frequency are disclosed. In some embodiments, the method of operation of the wireless devices comprises making a decision as to whether to configure a receiver of the wireless device to use the first XO or the second XO and configuring the receiver of the wireless device to use the first XO or the second XO in accordance with the decision.

An information handling system (IHS) includes a sensor for sensing a physical configuration of the IHS, the physical configuration dependent upon a position of a hinge of a housing of the IIS. A first proximity sensor probe may sense whether a first biological entity element is proximate to a first antenna of the IHS, and a second proximity sensor probe may sense whether a second biological entity element is proximate to a second antenna of the IHS. The IHS may reconfigure use of at least one of the first antenna and the second antenna in response to the sensing of at least one of the first proximity sensor probe and the second proximity sensor probe.
