CPC H04W 88/06 (2013.01) [H04W 24/10 (2013.01); H04W 52/0251 (2013.01); H04W 52/0274 (2013.01); H04W 76/27 (2018.02); H04W 76/30 (2018.02)] | 20 Claims |
1. An electronic device comprising:
a display;
a temperature sensor configured to sense a temperature of at least part of the electronic device; and
a communication processor including:
a first communication circuitry configured to support long term evolution (LTE) communication network, and
a second communication circuitry configured to support new radio (NR) communication network,
an application processor configured to:
obtain information related to the temperature sensed by the temperature sensor and information related to data throughput by the electronic device, and
determine, by the application processor, whether to request the communication processor to change from a first mode to a second mode based on at least one of:
a first condition being satisfied in which a temperature value, as indicated by the information related to the sensed temperature, is greater than a first reference temperature, or
a second condition being satisfied in which the data throughput indicated by the information related to data throughput is less than a first threshold value while the display is in an inactive state,
wherein the communication processor is configured to:
receive a signal indicating to change from the first mode to the second mode from the application processor, wherein, while the communication processor is in the first mode, the first communication circuitry and the second communication circuitry are respectively connected to the LTE communication network and the NR communication network,
in response to receiving the signal indicating to change from the first mode to the second mode, perform at least one operation for releasing the connection of the NR communication network, and
control, by the communication processor in the second mode, the second communication circuitry to maintain the release of the connection with the NR communication network by not transmitting, to the LTE communication network, a measurement report related to the NR communication network, and
change, after the release of the connection with the NR communication network, from the second mode to the first mode when the application processor determines that the second condition is not satisfied and a third condition in which the temperature value is lower than a second reference temperature is satisfied.
