1. A wireless communication device comprising:
- a controller to receive from a sensor orientation-related information indicating an orientation-related attribute of said wireless communication device during communication with a first wireless communication device, and to control an antenna scheme of one or more antennas of said wireless communication device based on said orientation-related information,wherein said controller is to select, based on a comparison between a change in the orientation-related attribute and a threshold, whether or not to perform one or more wireless communication operations selected from a group consisting of a connectivity-switching operation to switch connectivity from the first wireless communication device to a second wireless communication device, and a scanning operation to detect other wireless communication devices.
