A method and an electronic device for controlling a topology are provided. The method includes forming a star topology by directly connecting the electronic device to at least one node, and transmitting and receiving signals with neighboring nodes including the at least one node and determining whether to form the star topology or an extended star topology with the neighboring nodes based on a result of the transmitting and receiving, wherein the star topology is a topology in which the electronic device is directly connected to the neighboring nodes, and wherein the extended star topology is a topology in which the electronic device is directly connected to the neighboring nodes via an already connected node.

Method and apparatus for controlling topology

Provided is an apparatus and method for connecting to an Access Point (AP) based on beacon information in a wireless communication system. To this end, a wireless device predicts an interference condition from each of a plurality of APs based on information acquired by a received beacon, selects one of the plurality of APs, taking the predicted interference condition into account, and attempts connection to the selected AP.
