Abstract: An electronic device according to one embodiment comprises: a housing; a wireless communication circuit located in the housing, and supporting a wireless protocol so as to wirelessly connect to one of a plurality of APs using the same first credential information at one time point; a processor located in the housing and electrically connected to the communication circuit; and a memory located in the housing and electrically connected to the processor. The electronic device receives, from a first AP, a list of first channels at least partially associated with at least one second AP having a coverage overlapping a coverage of the first AP and a list of second channels associated with at least one third AP that does not have a coverage overlapping the coverage of the first AP through the wireless communication circuit, wherein the first AP, the at least one second AP, and the at least one third AP use the identical first credential information.

Abstract: Disclosed is an electronic device comprising: a touch screen display; a battery; a plurality of antenna elements arranged in order to perform beamforming for directional wireless communication; a first wireless communication circuit configured to provide, through the antenna elements, first wireless communication having a first coverage; a second wireless communication circuit configured to provide second wireless communication having a second coverage greater than the first coverage; and a processor connected to the display, the battery, the first wireless communication circuit, and the second wireless communication circuit, wherein the processor stores instructions for determining whether an external device is close to the electronic device by using the first wireless communication circuit, enabling at least one antenna element, rather than all the antenna elements, among the plurality of antenna elements, and transmitting data to the external device by using the second wireless communication circuit and th

Abstract: An electronic device may include a network interface, a wireless communication circuit configured to support directional communication, a processor electrically connected with the network interface and the wireless communication circuit, and a memory electrically connected with the processor.

Abstract: Provided are an electronic device and a wireless communication method of an electronic device. The electronic device obtains information for mode switching when the electronic device is connected to an access point based on one of a first mode from among a multiple user multiple input multiple output (MU-MIMO) mode and a single user multiple input multiple output (SU-MIMO) mode; determining whether to switch the mode to a second mode, which is different from the first mode, from among the MU-MIMO mode and the SU-MIMO mode, based on the obtained information for mode switching; and performing wireless data communication with the access point based on the second mode when the electronic device is switched to the second mode.
