1. An electronic device, comprising:
a first antenna module including at least one antenna configured to form a first beam and receive a serving beam from a first base station;
a second antenna module including at least one antenna configured to form a second beam and measure a signal strength of a signal of a neighbor beam received from a second base station;
a first temperature sensor configured to measure a temperature corresponding to the first antenna module;
a second temperature sensor configured to measure a temperature corresponding to the second antenna module;
at least one processor operatively connected with the first antenna module or the second antenna module; and
a memory operatively connected with the at least one processor, wherein the memory stores instructions which, when executed, cause the at least one processor to:
determine whether the first antenna module is in an overheated state based on the temperature of the first antenna module obtained from the first temperature sensor while performing communication with the first base station through the first antenna module; and
based on the first antenna module being determined to be in the overheated state, perform a handover to the second base station based on channel measurement information for the second base station.
