1. An electronic device comprising:
at least one communication circuit;
at least one processor comprising processing circuitry; and
memory configured to store instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor individually and/or collectively, cause the electronic device to:
establish, with an external device, a schedule including both a time interval for a first frequency band in an interval between discovery windows and a time interval for a second frequency band in the interval between the discovery windows to perform data communication with the external device supporting the first frequency band and the second frequency band, the first and second frequency bands having different coverage areas;
determine a ratio of the time interval for the second frequency band to the time interval for the first frequency band based on a result of monitoring traffic in the first frequency band and the second frequency band according to the schedule indicating that traffic of the second frequency band having a smaller coverage area is present; and
update, based on the determined ratio, the schedule to adjust the time intervals for the first frequency band and the second frequency band in an interval between discovery windows.
