Abstract: According to various embodiments, an electronic device comprises: a housing; a first wireless communication circuit located inside the housing and configured to support directional wireless communication by using beamforming; a second wireless communication circuit located inside the housing and configured to support omni-directional wireless communication; a processor operatively connected to the first wireless communication circuit and the second wireless communication circuit; and a memory operatively connected to the processor. The memory, when running, may store instructions for the processor to: perform the directional wireless communication together with an external electronic device capable of performing the directional wireless communication and the omni-directional wireless communication, by using the first wireless communication circuit; determine the distance between an electronic device and the external electronic device, at least partially on the basis of a signal of the external electronic device received by using the second wireless communication circuit, when the stop or degradation of the directional wireless communication is detected; and reattempt the directional wireless communication by using the first wireless communication circuit, at least partially on the basis of the determined distance, or determine whether to start the omni-directional wireless communication by using the second wireless communication circuit. Other embodiments are possible.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention relate to an electronic device for controlling communications. The electronic device may comprise: a housing including a first side and a second side facing the first side; a touch screen display exposed through the first side; a wireless communication unit for generating a directional beam in order to establish a wireless communication channel with an external electronic device; a sensor mounted in the housing; at least one processor mounted in the housing and electrically coupled to the display, the wireless communication unit and the sensor; and a memory mounted in the housing and electrically coupled to the at least one processor. The memory according to the various embodiments of the present invention is, when executed, characterized in that the processor is configured to: perform a first direction search for determining the direction of the directional beam corresponding to a first section, wherein the first section falls within a range corresponding to the direction of the electronic device; detect a change in direction of the electronic device by using the wireless communication unit and the sensor; and in response to the change of direction, perform, at least partially, a second direction search corresponding to a second section on the basis of the detected direction change, wherein the second section falls within a range corresponding to the changed direction of the electronic device, and the second section has a smaller range than that of the first section. Other embodiments are possible.
