1. An electronic device, comprising:
a first communication circuit performing first wireless communication using a first frequency band;
a second communication circuit performing second wireless communication using a second frequency band;
a processor operatively connected with the first communication circuit and the second communication circuit; and
a memory operatively connected with the processor and configured to store information regarding the first frequency band and the second frequency band, wherein the memory stores instructions configured to, when executed, enable the processor to:
perform a communication connection with a first base station using the first communication circuit to receive a first signal from the first base station;
receive a second signal from a second base station using the second communication circuit, based on the information regarding the second frequency band while performing the communication connection with the first base station;
select one of a single uplink operation (SUO) or a dual uplink operation (DUO), thereby resulting in a selected uplink operation, based on information obtained or measured in response to receiving the first signal or the second signal; and
transmit information regarding the selected uplink operation to the first base station,
wherein the instructions are configured to enable the processor to:
determine a center frequency of the first frequency band based on the first signal;
determine a center frequency of the second frequency band based on the second signal; and
select one of the single uplink operation (SUO) or the dual uplink operation (DUO) based on at least part of the center frequency of the first frequency band or the center frequency of the second frequency band, and
wherein the center frequency of the first frequency band is a harmonic frequency of the center frequency of the second frequency band.
