Positioning method using wireless communication, and electronic device for supporting same

Abstract

An electronic device according to an embodiment of the disclosure may include: a communication circuit, and at least one processor, comprising processing circuitry, electrically coupled to the communication circuit. At least one processor, individually and/or collectively, may be configured to: receive via the communication circuit an advertising frame transmitted by a first external electronic device, transmit a first request signal, requesting a second external electronic device to receive the advertising frame from the first external electronic device, to the second external electronic device via the communication circuit in response to receiving the advertising frame from the first external electronic device, obtain advertisement result response data, including first timestamp information on a timing at which the second external electronic device receives the advertising frame transmitted by the first external electronic device, from the second external electronic device via the communication circuit, obtain location data including location information of the second external electronic device with respect to the electronic device, based on performing ranging using Ultra-Wideband (UWB) communication with the second external electronic device, and identify a location of the first external electronic device with respect to the electronic device, based on the advertisement result response data and the location data.
