Claim 0:
1. An electronic device comprising:
at least one wireless communication circuit configured to transmit or receive a wireless signal according to IEEE 802.11 standards;
a processor operatively connected to the wireless communication circuit; and
a memory operatively connected to the processor,
wherein the memory stores instructions which, when executed, cause the processor to:
receive a first request message for a tunneled direct link setup (TDLS) session defined by IEEE 802.11 standards, from a first access point (AP) through the wireless communication circuit;
based on the first request message, determine that an external electronic device that has requested the TDLS session is connected to a second AP;
based on the determination, establish a connection with the second AP through the wireless communication circuit;
transmit a second request message for the TDLS session to the second AP; and
based on reception of a response message on the second request message from the external electronic device, establish the TDLS session with the external electronic device through the second AP.
