1. A portable communication device, comprising:
a first 5th generation (5G) antenna;
a second 5G antenna;
a legacy communication antenna; and
a processor,
wherein the processor is configured to:
while a wireless communication of a first frequency band is performed via the first 5G antenna, obtain first status information related to the first 5G antenna and second status information related to the second 5G antenna,
if the first status information does not satisfy a first predetermined condition and the second status information satisfies a second predetermined condition, switch from the first 5G antenna to the second 5G antenna, and perform the wireless communication in the first frequency band via the second 5G antenna, and
if the first status information does not satisfy the first predetermined condition and the second status information does not satisfy the second predetermined condition, switch from the first 5G antenna to the legacy communication antenna, and perform the wireless communication in a second frequency band via the legacy communication antenna.
