Electronic device for switching cellular communication on basis of state of electronic device, and electronic device operating method

Abstract

In an electronic device and an electronic device operating method, according to various embodiments, the electronic device comprises: a communication circuit for supporting first cellular communication and/or second cellular communication; an application processor; and a communication processor, wherein the application processor can be configured to: check whether the electronic device satisfies conditions related to the disconnection of the first cellular communication in a state in which the electronic device is connected through the first cellular communication; and transmit, on the basis of the electronic device satisfying the conditions related to the disconnection of the first cellular communication, to the communication processor, a signal indicating satisfaction of the conditions related to the disconnection of the first cellular communication, and the communication processor can be configured to: check, on the basis of the reception of the signal indicating satisfaction of the conditions related to the disconnection of the first cellular communication, whether system information including information, received from a node connected through the first cellular communication, about nodes adjacent to the node is received and/or whether a measure object satisfies designated conditions; disconnect the first cellular communication on the basis of whether the system information is received and/or whether the measure object satisfies the designated conditions; and connect the second cellular communication on the basis of the system information and/or the measure object. Various other embodiments are possible.
