    Abstract: A method includes obtaining channel information, range information, and angle of arrival (AoA) information based on wireless signals communicated between an electronic device and an external electronic device. The method also includes generating an initial prediction of a presence of the external electronic device relative to a field of view (FoV) of the electronic device based on the channel information and at least one of the range information or the AoA information. The initial prediction includes an indication of whether the external electronic device is within the FoV or outside the FoV of the electronic device. The method further includes performing, using a tracking filter, a smoothing operation on the range information and the AoA information. Additionally, the method includes determining that the external electronic device is within the FoV of the electronic device based on the AoA information, the smoothed AoA information, and the initial prediction.

    Abstract: An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes an antenna to transmit or receive a signal of a specific frequency band, a wireless local area network (WLAN) communication module, and an ultra-wide band (UWB) communication module, wherein the UWB communication module may be configured to transmit a first signal notifying that the specific frequency band is to be used to the WLAN communication module, and use the specific frequency band, wherein the WLAN communication module may be configured to terminate, in case that the specific frequency band is being used, a use of the specific frequency band within a preset time in response to reception of the first signal, and transmit, when the use of the specific frequency band is terminated, a second signal indicating whether the specific frequency band is used by the WLAN communication module to the UWB communication module.
