Communication can be performed at a speed d2 of 5 Mbps.

According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the second electronic device 1820 receives the first data 1802 and the second data 1803 transmitted from the first electronic device 1810 through the at least one interface. Can be received. For example, first data 1802 is received through a third interface 1841 during a first time interval and second data through a fourth interface 1842 during a second time interval at least partially overlapping the first time interval. 1803 may be received.

According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the second electronic device 1820 may control the received first data 1802 and the second data 1803 to be delivered to the buffer 1850.

According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the second electronic device 1820 may control the received data to be delivered to the merger 1860. For example, the merger 1860 may arrange the data 1804 by arranging the data according to the order information included in the first data 1802 and the second data 1803. For example, the merger 1860 may remove the order information included in the data 1804 and transfer the data from which the order information has been removed to an upper layer (eg, a TCP / IP layer).

According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, even if packets constituting the first data 1802 and the second data 1803 are randomly transmitted to the second electronic device 1820 according to a communication state, the merger ( In operation 1860, data is arranged based on the order information inserted by the first electronic device 1810 and transmitted to the upper layer, thereby reducing the load on which the upper layer arranges the data.
