1. An electronic device comprising:
a communication circuit configured to support ultra-wideband (UWB) communication;
at least one processor including processing circuitry; and
memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the electronic device to:
receive a first frame among advertising frames transmitted by an external electronic device through the communication circuit, the first frame comprising interval information indicating a period in which the advertising frames are transmitted, a window size and an offset associated with a time at which the advertising frames are transmitted;
determine whether at least one frame among the advertising frames is received in a first decision period and/or a first additional period and whether an angle determined based on a UWB signal comprising the received at least one frame is within a specified angle range, based on receiving the first frame;
determine whether a number of times the angle based on the at least one frame received in the first decision period and/or the first additional period is within the specified angle range satisfies a specified condition, wherein the first additional period is determined based on the interval information, the window size and the offset;
determine whether the electronic device points to the external electronic device, based on whether the specified condition is satisfied; and
defer determining whether the electronic device points to the external electronic device based on determining that a second external electronic device is a pointing candidate of the electronic device and that a second advertising frame is received from the second external electronic device in the first decision period at least based on the first advertising frame.
