Abstract
A first electronic device for expanding a wireless communication includes a first RAT communication unit for transmitting a signal to or receiving a signal from a reader via a first radio access technology (RAT). the first electronic device also includes a second RAT communication unit for transmitting a signal to or receiving a signal from at least one second electronic device via a second RAT. The first electronic device further includes a processor for transmitting, to the at least one second electronic device, a message requesting to initiate a communication using the second RAT, and performing control such that a communication using the first RAT between the at least one second electronic device and the reader is performed by using the second RAT.
