Mobile terminal and method for controlling the same in consideration of communication environment

摘要

A mobile terminal and a method for controlling the same in consideration of communication environment are disclosed. The mobile terminal includes: a grip sensor unit generating sensing signals corresponding to user grip; a control unit identifying a grip pattern on the basis of sensing signals from the grip sensor unit, extracting communication control information associated with the identified grip pattern, and performing at least one of power control and antenna tuning control; and a communication means to which power control and antenna tuning are applied under control of the control unit.
