1. An electronic device comprising:
at least one wireless communication circuit configured to perform first communication and second communication of a protocol different from that of the first communication; and
a processor operatively connected to the at least one wireless communication circuit,
wherein the processor is configured to:
synchronize with a first cluster having first information based on the first communication using the at least one wireless communication circuit;
perform first adjustment on at least a portion of a function related to discovery of the first communication;
receive a first signal transmitted from at least one external electronic device based on the second communication using the at least one wireless communication circuit;
obtain, from the first signal, second information of a second cluster associated with the at least one external electronic device; and
determine second adjustment on at least the portion of the function related to discovery of the first communication based on whether the first information of the first cluster and the second information correspond to each other.
