Electronic device and method for controlling data throughput based on heat generation in electronic device

Abstract

An electronic device is provided. An electronic device includes at least one antenna module, a first communication circuit configured to provide first communication via the at least one antenna module, a plurality of temperature sensor, at least one processor operationally connected to the first communication circuit and the plurality of temperature sensors, and a memory. The memory may store instructions which, when executed, cause the at least one processor to obtain a first temperature associated with the electronic device via the plurality of temperature sensors, identify a second temperature associated with the first communication based on the first temperature being equal to or higher than a first threshold value, identify an operation state of at least one application, in which data throughput associated with the first communication is equal to or more than designated throughput, based on the second temperature being equal to or higher than a second threshold value, and adjust first data throughput of a first application, which is operating in a background state, among the at least one application.
