According to an embodiment of the present invention, an electronic device for Bluetooth-based data transmission may comprise: a housing; a first communication circuit which is located inside the housing and uses a first band; a second communication circuit which is located inside the housing and uses the first band; a processor electrically connected to the first communication circuit and the second communication circuit; and a memory located inside the housing and electrically connected to the processor, wherein the memory stores instructions configured to, when executed, cause the processor to detect a communication state of at least one of the first communication circuit and the second communication circuit, and control retransmission of at least a part of data having been transmitted to an external electronic device via the first communication circuit, on the basis of the detected communication state. Various other embodiments are possible.

Electronic device, and method for Bluetooth-based data transmission in electronic device

An electronic device according to one embodiment comprises: a housing; a wireless communication circuit located in the housing, and supporting a wireless protocol so as to wirelessly connect to one of a plurality of APs using the same first credential information at one time point; a processor located in the housing and electrically connected to the communication circuit; and a memory located in the housing and electrically connected to the processor. The electronic device receives, from a first AP, a list of first channels at least partially associated with at least one second AP having a coverage overlapping a coverage of the first AP and a list of second channels associated with at least one third AP that does not have a coverage overlapping the coverage of the first AP through the wireless communication circuit, wherein the first AP, the at least one second AP, and the at least one third AP use the identical first credential information.

Method and electronic device for performing wireless communication by using channel list

A method of transmitting contents in a portable terminal is provided. The method includes allowing a portable terminal of a transmitter to be connected to a portable terminal of a receiver by a control communication, allowing the portable terminal of the transmitter to select a type of the data transmission communication with the portable terminal of the receiver through the control communication, allowing the portable terminal of the transmitter to transmit setting data corresponding to the selected type of data transmission communication to the portable terminal of the receiver through the control communication, and allowing the portable terminal of the transmitter to be connected to the portable terminal of the receiver by the control communication and to transmit the content which are requested to be transmitted, to the portable terminal of the receiver.

Apparatus and method for transmitting content in portable terminal

An electronic device may include a network interface, a wireless communication circuit configured to support directional communication, a processor electrically connected with the network interface and the wireless communication circuit, and a memory electrically connected with the processor. The memory may store instructions executed to enable the processor to form a first wireless communication channel with a first external electronic device using the wireless communication circuit, form a second wireless communication channel with a second external electronic device using the wireless communication circuit, determine information associated with positions of the first external electronic device and the second external electronic device, detect communication, via the electronic device, between the first external electronic device and the second external electronic device, and enable the first external electronic device and the second external electronic device to directly connect to each other in the frequency band at least partially based on the information.

Electronic device for controlling data communication of external electronic device and communication system

A method and an apparatus for transmitting content in a portable terminal are provided. The method includes searching for devices, to each of which content is to be transmitted, by a first communication module, and displaying information indicating devices discovered as a result of the search; determining, when a particular portable terminal to which the content is to be transmitted is selected among the displayed information, whether the selected particular portable terminal is currently performing a communication connection with another portable terminal; requesting and receiving, through a second communication module, in response to determining that the particular portable terminal is currently performing the communication connection with the another portable terminal, an address of a device matched to a selected transmission method; and making a communication connection with the particular portable terminal; transmitting the content to the particular portable terminal, through a third communication module matched to the selected transmission method.
