1. An electronic device comprising:
a communication circuit; and
at least one processor operatively connected to the communication circuit, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
receive, via the communication circuit from at least one external electronic device in a first active ranging round within a first ranging block, a ranging response message (RRM) including a first round index of a first ranging round in which the at least one external electronic device performs a first ranging operation as an initiator in a neighbor cell, and a number of hops between a reference cell in which a reference external electronic device exists and the neighbor cell, and
select a second active ranging round in which the electronic device performs a second ranging operation in a second ranging block based on at least the RRM.
