1. A relay device configured to wirelessly communicate with a repeater in an ultra-high frequency (mmWave) band, the relay device comprising:
a housing;
an antenna provided in the housing;
an antenna alignment unit comprising a motor and/or circuitry configured to change alignment of the antenna such that a radiation direction of the antenna is changed; and
at least one processor operatively connected to the antenna and the antenna alignment unit; and
a communication unit comprising communication circuitry electrically connected to the processor and wirelessly connected to an external electronic device,
wherein the antenna alignment unit comprises a horizontal alignment unit and a vertical alignment unit, and
wherein the at least one processor is configured to control the communication unit to receive a directional information of the repeater from the external electronic device, and to control the horizontal alignment unit based on the directional information of the repeater and control the vertical alignment unit based on quality of signals transmitted to or received from the repeater through the antenna, to secure a line of sight (LOS) between the antenna and the repeater.
