Assignee: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.
Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H  Y | IPC H

Claim 16:
17. An electronic device comprising:
a communication processor including:
a first communication circuitry configured to support a long term evolution (LTE) communication,
a second communication circuitry configured to support a new radio (NR) communication, and
a temperature sensor configured to sense a temperature of at least part of the electronic device; and

an application processor configured to:
receive, by the application processor, information related to the temperature sensed by the temperature sensor or data throughput indicated by information related to data transmission via the second communication circuitry, and
determine, by the application processor, whether to request the communication processor to change from a first mode to a second mode based on an identification that the data throughput is less than a first threshold value or the information related to the sensed temperature,

wherein the communication processor is configured to:
receive, by the communication processor, a signal indicating to change from the first mode to the second mode from the application processor while the communication processor is in the first mode, wherein the electronic device in the first mode is in a radio resource control (RRC) connected state being capable of performing data transmission through the LTE communication and the NR communication,
in response to receiving the signal indicating to change from the first mode to the second mode, ignore, by the second communication circuitry, a signal indicating at least one measurement associated with the NR communication, and
control, by the communication processor, the second communication circuitry to enter a sleep state or maintain the sleep state.
