Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 8:
9. A method for determining an uplink operation by an electronic device performing communication with a first base station using a first frequency band and communication with a second base station using a second frequency band in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving a first signal from the first base station, using a first communication circuit;
receiving a second signal from the second base station, using a second communication circuit while performing a communication connection with the first base station;
selecting one of a single uplink operation (SUO) or a dual uplink operation (DUO), thereby resulting in a selected uplink operation, based on at least one of information obtained or measured in response to receiving the first signal or the second signal or second information previously configured; and
transmitting information regarding the selected uplink operation to the first base station,
wherein selecting the one of the single uplink operation (SUO) or the dual uplink operation (DUO) comprises:
determining a center frequency of the first frequency band based on the first signal;
determining a center frequency of the second frequency band based on the second signal;
determining whether the center frequency of the first frequency band is a harmonic frequency of the center frequency of the second frequency band; and
selecting the one of the single uplink operation (SUO) or the dual uplink operation (DUO) based on a result of the determination.
