Various embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a device and method for controlling a communication function in an electronic device. An electronic device comprises: a wireless communication circuit for supporting first communication and second communication; memory; and at least one processor, the at least one processor configured to: check identification information about a network when connected to the network through the first communication, determine whether the network supports the second communication, on the basis of the identification information about the network and network information related to the second communication, set, on the basis of whether the network supports the second communication, whether a function, related to the second communication, of the electronic device is activated; and transmit, to the network information related to whether the function, related to the second communication, of the electronic device is activated.

Electronic device for controlling communication function, and operating method therefor

An electronic device may include at least one communication processor and an application processor. The at least one communication processor is configured to: receive first system information including information on whether at least one node supporting first cellular communication supports DC or second system information including information on a node which is adjacent to the at least one node and supports second cellular communication, from the at least one node via the first cellular communication; update, based on the first or second system information, a database which includes information indicating whether the at least one node supports the DC and information indicating whether the node adjacent to the at least one node supports the second cellular communication; determine, based on the updated database, a searching order of at least one node included in the updated database; and search for a node to be registered, based on the determined searching order.

Electronic device for performing node selection based on system information block and operation method thereof
