Abstract
A control method of an electronic device for performing joint transmission is provided. The control method includes searching for access points (APs) to retrieve a plurality of APs, determining a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) for data transmission based on a signal strength of at least two APs among the plurality of APs, determining the at least two APs as candidate APs for joint transmission by comparing a joint transmission gain time according to the determined MCS and a synchronization time for the at least two APs to perform joint transmission, transmitting information about the candidate APs to an AP control device, and performing data communication with joint APs, which are determined to perform joint transmission by the AP control device, among the candidate APs.
