Electronic device for displaying indicator regarding network and method thereof

Abstract

An electronic device includes at least one wireless communication circuit; a display, a processor, and a memory configured to store first information associated with new radio (NR) cell searching, the memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to receive a system information block (SIB) including information indicating that evolved terrestrial radio access network (E-UTRAN) new radio-dual connectivity (EN-DC) is possible, from a long-term evolution (LTE) base station by using the at least one wireless communication circuit; select a cell of the LTE base station based at least partly on the SIB, using the at least one wireless communication circuit; display a first indicator associated with availability of LTE on a partial region of the display, in response to selecting the cell of the LTE base station; after selecting the cell of the LTE base station, perform the NR cell searching based at least partly on the first information, using the at least one wireless communication circuit; display a second indicator associated with availability of NR on the partial region of the display, based at least partly on the result of the NR cell searching; and display a third indicator obtained by changing at least part of a color or shading of the second indicator, on the partial region of the display in response to performing data transmission to an NR base station after determining the result of the NR cell searching.
