FIELD: radio engineering and communication.
SUBSTANCE: mobile terminal according to present invention includes: a grip sensor unit generating sensing signals corresponding to user grip; a control unit identifying a grip pattern on basis of sensing signals from grip sensor unit, extracting communication control information associated with 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 control unit.
EFFECT: providing a sufficient level of efficiency of communication, while reducing specific absorption coefficient (SAR) in accordance with type of user grip.
