1. An electronic device comprising:
a display;
communication circuitry;
at least one sensor;
memory, comprising one or more storage media, storing instructions; and
at least one processor communicatively coupled to the memory, the at least one sensor, the communication circuitry, and the display,
wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the electronic device to:
receive signals including data packet information through the communication circuitry,
identify the data packet information associated with at least one external electronic device,
identify a first external electronic device among the at least one external electronic device, based on the data packet information,
obtain a predicted frame (P-frame) pattern during a first time period, and obtain a second P-frame pattern during a second time period based on information associated with packet sizes of the first external electronic device among the data packet information or a received signal strength indication (RSSI) pattern during the second time period based on RSSI values of the received signal,
identify a motion vector corresponding to a distance and a direction of a movement of the electronic device during the second time period through the at least one sensor,
determine location information about the first external electronic device, based on the motion vector during the second time period and either a change in frame sizes of the second P-frame pattern during the second time period or a change in the RSSI values of the RSSI pattern during the second time period, and
provide the location information about the first external electronic device.
