The present disclosure relates to an electronic device capable of performing both fourth-generation (4G) and fifth-generation (5G) communications, which includes a communication unit configured to perform wireless communication with a base station according to at least one of a first communication method and a second communication method, and a modem configured to determine whether an establishment of a communication link according to the first communication method is allowed when a first communication link command according to the first communication method is to received from the base station, and to establish the communication link according to the first communication method based on a result of the determination or re-attempt to establish the communication link according to the first communication method through a recovery process, and wherein the modem interrupts the recovery process to prevent repeated exchange of unnecessary messages with the base station when the establishment of the communication link according to the first communication method is failed even though the establishment of the communication link according to the first communication method is attempted a preset number of times.

Electronic device and method for controlling the same

The present invention relates to a mobile terminal and a method for controlling the same, the mobile terminal including a location information module configured to acquire location information related to the mobile terminal based on one of a first positioning method that is configured to detect access points (APs) adjacent to the mobile terminal, receive location information related to the detected APs, and acquire the location information on the mobile terminal based on the received location information related to the APs, and a second positioning method that is configured to receive location information related to the detected APs and other APs located within a predetermined area where the detected APs are located, and acquire the location information on the mobile terminal based on the received location information related to the APs, a communication unit configured to perform wireless communication with a first positioning server providing first AP information including the location information related to the detected APs or a second positioning server providing second AP information including the location information related to the detected APs and the other APs located within the predetermined area where the detected APs are located, a memory configured to store the first AP information or the second AP information, and a controller configured to perform a process of acquiring the location information on the mobile terminal according to the second positioning method for a preset time when the APs located adjacent to the mobile terminal are detected, and acquire the location information on the mobile terminal according to the first positioning method when the location information on the mobile terminal is not acquired for the preset time.

Mobile terminal and method for controlling the same

A method of controlling a mobile terminal, and which includes receiving, via a wireless communication unit, a wireless signal from an external wireless access point (AP); configuring, via a controller, a frequency band for searching a frequency transmitted from a mobile communication network based on information contained in the wireless signal; and searching a frequency transmitted from the mobile communication network on the configured frequency band. Further, the configured frequency band is a partial search frequency band of a full search frequency band.
