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

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.

Electronic device and method of forming Wi-Fi peer to peer (P2P) group

A method and apparatus allocates an IP address between terminals in a wireless communication network in which terminals directly communicate with each other in a wireless scheme without an AP. The method for allocating an Internet Protocol (IP) address of a wireless terminal capable of performing P2P communication, includes a discovery step of discovering at least one external terminal capable of performing the P2P communication and connecting with the at least one discovered external terminal by the wireless terminal; and a negotiation step of negotiating and determining with the external terminal which external terminals become a group owner and a group client in a P2P group, respectively by the wireless terminal. One of the discovery step and the negotiation step includes transmitting an IP address to be allocated to the group client to the external terminal from the wireless terminal.

Method and apparatus for allocating IP address in wireless communication network

A method and apparatus for discovering a device without an access point (AP) to perform P2P communication in a wireless communication network includes: receiving a probe request frame from another P2P device; determining whether a message requesting at least one of a phone number and user identification information is included in the received probe request frame; and transmitting a probe response frame including at least one of the phone number and the user identification information to the another P2P device when the message is included in the probe request frame.

Method and apparatus for discovering device in wireless communication network

A method and apparatus allocates an IP address between terminals in a wireless communication network in which terminals directly communicate with each other in a wireless scheme without an AP. The method for allocating an Internet Protocol (IP) address of a wireless terminal capable of performing P2P communication, includes
