1. An electronic device comprising,
a wireless communication circuit; an application processor; and
a communication processor operably connected to the wireless communication circuit and the application processor, the communication processor configured to:
receive, from a base station via the wireless communication circuit, data inactivity timer information,
enable a data inactivity timer based on a first expire time value included in the received data inactivity timer information, wherein the electronic device is in a radio resource control (RRC) connected state for the base station,
based on that a data inactivity-related event occurs, switch, for the data inactivity timer, the first expire time value to a second expire time value that is different from the first expire time value, and release an RRC connection for the base station when the data inactivity timer expires based on the second expire time value;
wherein the communication processor is further configured to:
control the data inactivity timer to reset or restart a time value of the data inactivity timer based on a data transmission or reception while the data inactivity timer runs;
wherein the data transmission or reception includes a medium access control (MAC) data transmission or reception over at least one logical channel comprising at least one of a dedicated traffic channel (DTCH), a dedicated control channel (DCCH), or a common control channel (CCCH).
