1. An electronic device comprising:
a transceiver configured to transmit and receive radar signals and communication signals;
a battery; and
a processor operably connected to the transceiver, the processor configured to:
generate a power budget indicating an amount of available power for signal transmission and reception,
determine whether to prioritize the communication signals or the radar signals for allocating the available power of the battery,
allocate the available power based on a communication throughput level and a radar usage level, including:
in response to a determination to prioritize the communication signals, allocate a first portion of the available power for the communication signals and a second portion of the available power for the radar signals; and
in response to a determination to prioritize the radar signals, allocate the first portion of the available power for the radar signals and the second portion of the available power for the communication signals, and
transmit, via the transceiver, the communication signals and the radar signals based on the allocation.
