    Abstract: An electronic device may include at least one wireless communication module configured to transmit and receive a wireless signal; a memory electrically configured to store instructions; and at least one processor operatively connected to the at least one wireless communication module and the memory, the at least one processor being configured to execute the instructions to: based on an attempt to connect to an access point (AP), identify whether a pairwise master key security association (PMKSA) for the AP, generated based on to a previous connection of the electronic device to the AP, is present, and based on identifying that the PMKSA is present, determine whether to reuse a pairwise master key (PMK) stored in the PMKSA by comparing a lifetime of the PMK with a margin time in which a use of the PMK is guaranteed.

    Abstract: In an electronic device and/or an operating method of the electronic device, the electronic device may include: a communication circuit configured to perform short-range wireless communication through a first frequency band and/or a second frequency band lower than the first frequency band; and a processor, wherein the processor may be configured to identify whether a channel in the first frequency band is a non-preferred scanning channel (non-PSC), based on reduced neighbor report (RNR) information included in a signal received through the second frequency band from an external electronic device, determine a quality of a signal to be received through the first frequency band, based on transmit power control (TPC) information received from the external electronic device upon identifying that the channel in the first frequency band is the non-PSC, and determine whether to perform an operation of scanning the non-PSC, based on whether a quality of a signal to be transmitted through the first frequency band satisfies a specified condition. In addition, various embodiments are possible.
