For example, the first electronic device 101 bases the start timing of the advertising process of the first electronic device 101 on the start timing of the advertising process of the second electronic device 102. By identifying the time resources, the time resources can be identified. For example, the first electronic device 101 may configure the start timing of the advertising process of the first electronic device 101 as the start timing of the advertising process of the second electronic device 102. The time resources can be identified based on identifying the timing within a specified time from the timing. For example, the designated time may be used to reduce the time for the third electronic device 103 to scan the first electronic device 101 and the second electronic device 102. For example, the start timing of the advertising process of the first electronic device 101 may be a specified time later than the start timing of the advertising process of the second electronic device 102. there is. For example, the other designated time may be shorter than the designated time. For example, the other specified time may be determined by the timing of transmission of the first advertising PDU of the first electronic device 101 to be broadcast within the advertising process of the first electronic device 101. This may be so as not to overlap with the transmission timing of the first advertising PDU of the second electronic device 102 to be broadcast within the advertising process of 102. For example, the other designated time may be the transmission timing of the first advertising PDU of the first electronic device 101 that is spaced apart from the timing of the transmission of the first advertising PDU of the second electronic device 102. It could be for timing reasons. For example, the first electronic device 101 determines the transmission timing of the first advertising PDU of the second electronic device 102 and the connection from the third electronic device 103 to the second electronic device 102. Based at least in part on the transmission timing of the request, the transmission timing of the first advertising PDU of the first electronic device 101 may be identified. For example, the first electronic device 101 may transmit first advertising protocol data (PDU) of the second electronic device 102 to be broadcast within the advertising process of the second electronic device 102. unit) and the transmission timings of the second advertising PDU of the second electronic device 102, the first electronic device to be broadcast within the advertising process of the first electronic device 101.

Based on identifying the advertising interval of the advertising process of the first electronic device 101 as a time interval before the start timing of the advertising process of the device 102 Thus, the time resources can be identified. For example, the first electronic device 101 may perform the advertising process of the second electronic device 102 and the other advertising process of the second electronic device 102, indicated by the at least one signal. Based on a delay time interval between titling processes, the time resources may be identified based on identifying the advertising interval of the advertising process of the first electronic device.

Based on the transmission timing of the second advertising PDU (e.g., AUX_ADV_IND) of the second electronic device 102 indicated by each of the first advertising PDUs of ), the first electronic device 101 The transmission timing of each of the first advertising PDUs (e.g., ADV_EXT_IND) and the first advertising PDU of the first electronic device 101 indicated by each of the first advertising PDUs of the first electronic device 101. 2 By identifying the transmission timing of the advertising PDU (eg, AUX_ADV_IND), the time resources can be identified. For example, each of the first advertising PDUs of the second electronic device 102 may represent a PDU to be broadcast within the advertising process of the second electronic device 102. For example, the second advertising PDU of the second electronic device 102 may represent a PDU to be broadcast within the advertising process of the second electronic device 102. For example, each of the first advertising PDUs of the first electronic device 101 may represent a PDU to be broadcast within the advertising process of the first electronic device 101. For example, the second advertising PDU of the first electronic device 101 may indicate a PDU to be broadcast within the advertising process of the first electronic device 101.

It can be broadcast from. For example, the second advertising PDU of the first electronic device 101 is broadcast within a specified time from the transmission timing at which the second advertising PDU of the second electronic device 102 is broadcast. It can be. For example, the second advertising PDU of the first electronic device 101 is broadcasted after the second advertising PDU of the second electronic device 102 is broadcast. may be broadcast before the other advertising processes are initiated. For example, the second advertising PDU of the first electronic device 101 is determined by the transmission timing of the second advertising PDU of the second electronic device 102 and the transmission timing of the second advertising PDU of the second electronic device 102. The connection request transmitted from the third electronic device 103 in response to the second advertising PDU may be broadcast based on the transmission timing.
