An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a communication circuit and at least one processor, and the at least one processor may be configured to receive, from an external electronic device via the communication circuit, a first message requesting network configuration information, select at least one network configuration information to be transmitted to the external electronic device among a plurality of network configuration information stored in the electronic device based on a set filtering scheme, and transmit, to the external electronic device via the communication circuit, a second message including the selected at least one network configuration information.

Electronic device for transmitting and receiving network configuration information and operating method thereof

An electronic device includes: a communication module; a memory; and at least one processor operatively connected to the communication module and the memory, wherein the at least one processor is configured to: control the communication module to generate a direct communication group in which an external electronic device operates as a group owner and the electronic device operates as a group client through a Wi-Fi direct connection with the external electronic device, to perform wireless communication; control the communication module to transmit, to the external electronic device, a schedule change request message requesting to change an operation schedule of the direct communication group, based on a change in an operating state, related to wireless communication through the direct communication group, of at least one of the at least one processor and the communication module; receive, through the communication module from the external electronic device, a response message including operation schedule information configured based on the schedule change request message; and control the communication module to perform wireless communication according to the operation schedule information of the response message received from the external electronic device.

Electronic device for performing Wi-Fi direct group communication, and method therefor

An electronic device according to various example embodiments includes: at least one wireless communication module comprising wireless communication circuitry configured to support a first communication protocol and a second communication protocol, at least one processor operatively connected to the wireless communication module, and a memory electrically connected to the processor and configured to store instructions executable by the processor. When the instructions are executed by the processor, the processor may, using the wireless communication module, set a schedule for a first data link that uses a first frequency band as the second communication protocol with a first external electronic device, set a schedule for a second data link that uses a second frequency band as the second communication protocol with a second external electronic device, and change the second data link to a third data link that uses a third frequency band and perform communication with the second external electronic device, based on the third frequency band being available due to a termination of the first data link.

Electronic device and method for scheduling of data link

A method for managing persistent group information of an electronic device is provided. The electronic device is a group member of a persistent group. The method includes when the persistent group information is deleted in response to a specific event, the electronic device transmits, to the group members, a message requesting the deletion of the persistent group information stored by group members of the persistent group, thus making it possible to delete the persistent group information and enabling synchronization to proceed.

Method for managing persistent group information of electronic device

An example method of forming a Wi-Fi P2P group of an electronic device includes obtaining information for Wi-Fi P2P connection to a second external electronic device while the electronic device forms a first P2P group with a first external electronic device through a Wi-Fi P2P connection and generating a second P2P group with the second external electronic device by obtaining a group owner (GO) permission while maintaining the first P2P group based on the information and a role of the electronic device in the first P2P group.
