Electronic device for broadcasting advertisement packets together with counterpart electronic device, and operating method thereof

Abstract

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a communication module which communicates with a counterpart electronic device through a wireless link, a processor, and a memory in which instructions are stored, wherein the processor is configured to, when the instructions are executed by the processor, identify, based on first device information about the electronic device and second device information from the counterpart electronic device, a first broadcast period of a first advertisement packet and a first timing offset with respect to a reference broadcast time point, and broadcast the first advertisement packet every first transmission period from a time point according to the first timing offset from the reference broadcast time point, wherein the reference broadcast time point is a reference time point synchronized between the electronic device and the counterpart electronic device, and the first timing offset prevents a first broadcast time point of the first advertisement packet from overlapping a second broadcast time point of a second advertisement packet of the counterpart electronic device.
