Abstract
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes an ultra-wideband (UWB) communication circuit, a processor operatively connected to the UWB communication circuit, and a memory operatively connected to the processor. The memory stores instructions, and when the instructions are executed, the instructions, when executed, further cause the processor to establish a wireless communication channel with an external electronic device using the UWB communication circuit, perform positioning communication with the external electronic device based on a predetermined period, via the wireless communication channel, recognize a distance between the electronic device and the external electronic device, and a changing trend of the distance, based at least on the positioning communication, and change the positioning communication period based on the recognized distance and the changing trend.
