Claim 8:
9. A method of operating an electronic device comprising an application processor, a communication processor, a first communication circuitry, a second communication circuitry, a temperature sensor and a display, the method comprising:
obtaining, by the application processor, information related to a temperature sensed by the temperature sensor and information related to data throughput by the electronic device;
determining, by the application processor, whether to request the communication processor to change from a first mode to a second mode based on at least one of:
a first condition being satisfied in which a temperature value, as indicated by the information related to the sensed temperature, is greater than a first reference temperature, or
a second condition being satisfied in which the data throughput indicated by the information related to data throughput is less than a first threshold value while the display is in an inactive state;

receiving, by the communication processor, a signal indicating to change from the first mode to the second mode from the application processor, wherein, while the communication processor is in the first mode, the first communication circuitry and the second communication circuitry are respectively connected to an LTE communication network and an NR communication network;
in response to receiving the signal indicating to change from the first mode to the second mode, performing, by the communication processor, at least one operation for releasing the connection of the NR communication network;
controlling, by the communication processor in the second mode, the second communication circuitry to maintain the release of the connection with the NR communication network by not transmitting, to the LTE communication network, a measurement report related to the NR communication network; and
changing, by the communication processor, from the second mode to the first mode when the application processor determines that the second condition is not satisfied and a third condition in which the temperature value is lower than a second reference temperature is satisfied, after the release of the connection with the NR communication network.
