Electronic device for performing ranging through uwb, and operation method of electronic device

An operation method of a second electronic device for performing ranging through ultra-wideband (UWB), the operation method comprising:

• receiving a first ranging control message (RCM) from a first electronic device that controls a ranging procedure of a ranging group, the first RCM including time information configured for receiving a ranging request from a device not participating in the ranging group;
• transmitting a ranging request to the first electronic device based on the time information;
• receiving a second RCM including information about a slot allocated to the second electronic device;
• and
• performing ranging with the ranging group based on the second RCM.

A first electronic device for performing ranging through ultra-wideband (UWB), the first electronic device comprising:

• a communicator;
• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor configured to execute a program stored in the memory to control an operation of the first electronic device,
• wherein the at least one processor is further configured to transmit a first ranging control message (RCM) including information for controlling a ranging procedure of a ranging group for the first electronic device, the first RCM including time information configured for receiving a ranging request from a device not participating in the ranging group, receive a ranging request from a second electronic device based on the time information, transmit a second RCM including information about a slot allocated to the second electronic device, and perform ranging with the second electronic device based on the second RCM.
