Abstract
An electronic device receives installation information about an environment of the electronic device. For example, the installation information includes a type of installation of the electronic device, such as one of: installation on a wall, installation on a pole, installation in a stadium, or installation in street furniture. Based at least in part on the installation information, the electronic device selects a group of antenna patterns that includes a subset of potential antenna patterns. Then, the electronic device communicates, via an interface circuit in the electronic device, one or more packets or frames for another electronic device using an antenna pattern in the group of antenna patterns. Note that the electronic device determines the antenna pattern to use in subsequent communication. Moreover, the group of antenna patterns is selected based at least in part on an orientation, a location of the electronic device, or both.
