Abstract
An electronic device includes: a hinge structure; a foldable housing including a first housing structure and a second housing structure that are configured to be foldable relative to each other around the hinge structure; a first antenna provided in the first housing structure; a second antenna provided in the second housing structure; a communication circuit electrically connected to the first antenna and the second antenna, and configured to transmit and receive data through a first link and a second link established between an external electronic device and the electronic device; and a processor operatively connected to the communication circuit, wherein the processor is configured to: identify whether an angle between the first housing structure and the second housing structure satisfies a specified condition; and control the communication circuit to transmit, through at least one of the first link and the second link, a signal related to a change in an operation of short-range wireless communication, based on whether the angle satisfies the specified condition.
