Abstract
The invention provides a communication device and a communication method. The communication device with at least a first antenna and a second antenna includes a switch element, a transceiver, and an antenna selection and control module. The switch element is coupled to the first antenna and the second antenna. The transceiver is coupled to the switch element. The antenna selection and control module controls the switch element to switch between the first antenna and the second antenna, such that the first antenna and the second antenna are respectively set as an operating antenna and a non-operating antenna. In one or more busy time periods of the operating antenna, the transceiver measures a first communication quality parameter of the operating antenna. In one or more idle time periods of the operating antenna, the transceiver measures a second communication quality parameter of the non-operating antenna.
