1. An electronic device, comprising:
a plurality of antennas supporting new radio (NR) communication and long-term evolution (LTE) communication; and
at least one processor configured to:
identify at least one time of transmission of a sounding reference signal (SRS) set in the NR communication, transmitted through each of the plurality of antennas,
identify at least one time of the LTE communication corresponding to the at least one time of transmission of the SRS,
identify a block error rate (BLER) of the LTE communication in at least one frequency band associated with the LTE communication simultaneously in use with the NR communication, at the at least one time of the LTE communication, and
based on the BLER satisfying a designated condition, perform an SRS restriction operation
wherein, based on the BLER satisfying the designated condition, the at least one processor is further configured to:
identify a first data throughput corresponding to the LTE communication,
identify a second data throughput corresponding to the NR communication,
identify a ratio of the first data throughput to a sum of the first data throughput and the second data throughput, and
perform the SRS restriction operation based on the ratio of the first data throughput being more than or equal to a threshold ratio.
