Electronic device for switching cellular communication or operation mode of cellular communication, based on state of electronic device, and operation method therefor

Abstract

An electronic device and a method of operating the same are provided. The electronic device includes a temperature sensor configured to measure a temperature of at least a part of the electronic device, a display, a communication circuit supporting first cellular communication and/or second cellular communication, an application processor, and a communication processor, wherein the application processor is configured to identify whether a deactivated state of the display is maintained for a designated time or longer while being connected via the first cellular communication, in response to the deactivated state maintained for the designated time or longer, identify whether each of the temperature measured by the temperature sensor and a throughput of data transmission via the first cellular communication satisfies a designated condition, and in response to the temperature and the throughput each satisfying the designated condition, control the communication processor to perform one or more operations for performing releasing of the first cellular communication.
