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. The memory may store instructions executed to enable the processor to form a first wireless communication channel with a first external electronic device using the wireless communication circuit, form a second wireless communication channel with a second external electronic device using the wireless communication circuit, determine information associated with positions of the first external electronic device and the second external electronic device, detect communication, via the electronic device, between the first external electronic device and the second external electronic device, and enable the first external electronic device and the second external electronic device to directly connect to each other in the frequency band at least partially based on the information.

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: 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.
