According to an embodiment, the processor 540 may recognize various indicators indicating a communication state with the base station 505 when communicating with the base station 505 using a designated network. For example, the indicator indicating the communication state with the base station 505 may correspond to a radio environment indicator including reference signal received power (RSRP). According to an embodiment, the indicator indicating the communication state with the base station 505 may indicate whether a communication environment (or communication quality) between the electronic device 501 and the base station 505 is good.

According to an embodiment, RSRP may correspond to the magnitude (or power) of a reference signal (eg, a reference signal transmitted by the base station 505 ) received by the electronic device 501 . For example, RSRP may correspond to a larger value as the distance between the electronic device 501 and the base station 505 is shorter, and may correspond to a smaller value as the distance between the electronic device 501 and the base station 505 is greater. . For example, RSRP of a relatively large value may indicate that the communication environment between the electronic device 501 and the base station 505 is good (or good state), and RSRP of a relatively small value may indicate that the communication environment between the electronic device 501 and the base station 505 is good (or good state). It may indicate that the communication environment between the base stations 505 is not good (or bad state).

In various embodiments, the communication environment between the electronic device 501 and the base station 505 may be divided into a strong electric field or a medium/weak electric field (medium electric field or weak electric field) according to the strength of the electric field, and the communication environment or the electric field The strength can be expressed as a value of RSRP. In an embodiment, in a situation (or environment) in which the strength (or strength) of the electric field between the electronic device 501 and the base station 505 is less than a reference value (eg, a medium electric field situation or a weak electric field situation), RSRP is a relative may have a small value (or a value less than the specified value).

For example, as RSRP corresponds to a relatively small value, the strength of the electric field between the electronic device 501 and the base station 505 may be a medium electric field or a weak electric field. For example, as RSRP corresponds to a relatively large value, the strength of the electric field between the electronic device 501 and the base station 505 may be a strong electric field.

According to an embodiment, when the strength of the electric field between the electronic device 501 and the base station 505 is a strong electric field (eg, a situation in which RSRP corresponds to a specified value or more), the communication environment is good (or the communication quality is good) ), the processor 540 does not need to increase the output strength of the transmission signal (or the signal transmitted to the base station 505) or may maintain the current output strength of the transmission signal. In various embodiments, when the strength of the electric field is a strong electric field, the processor 540 maintains the output strength of the transmission signal relatively lower than when the strength of the electric field is a medium electric field or a weak electric field, but the same or similar level of communication quality is maintained by the user. can be provided to In this case, the width (degree) at which the temperature of the electronic device 501 increases over time may not be large, or the temperature value of the electronic device 501 may be maintained below the threshold temperature.

According to an embodiment, when the strength of the electric field between the electronic device 501 and the base station 505 is a medium electric field or a weak electric field (eg, a situation in which RSRP corresponds to less than a specified value), the communication environment is not good, so the electric field The processor 540 may increase the output strength of the transmission signal relatively significantly compared to the case where the strength of is a strong electric field. According to an embodiment, when the strength of the electric field is a medium electric field or a weak electric field, as the output strength of a transmission signal transmitted by the processor 540 increases, the width in which the temperature of the electronic device 501 increases with time is large. Alternatively, the value of the temperature of the electronic device 501 may be greater than or equal to the threshold temperature. When the value of the temperature of the electronic device 501 is equal to or greater than the threshold temperature, the electronic device 501 may be damaged or deteriorated. According to an embodiment, when the processor 540 recognizes that the strength of the electric field is the medium electric field or the weak electric field, the processor 540 operates the cooling fan 510 to prevent the temperature of the electronic device 501 from rapidly increasing (or the threshold temperature). less) can be controlled.

According to an embodiment, the processor 540 may recognize the communication state with the base station 505 based on an indicator (eg, RSRP) indicating the above-described communication state by way of example. According to an embodiment, the processor 540 may periodically recognize a communication state with the base station 505 . According to an embodiment, a situation in which the recognized communication state is not good may correspond to a situation in which the temperature is expected to increase because the electronic device 501 may increase the power of the transmission signal.

According to an embodiment, the processor 540 operates the cooling fan 510 on the basis of recognizing the communication state (eg, the communication state is not good) with the base station 505 in the above-described manner by operating the electronic device. It is possible to prevent the temperature of the 501 (or the antenna module 520, the communication modem) from rising rapidly. In various examples, the processor 540 increases the rotation speed of the cooling fan 510 based on recognizing that the communication state with the base station 505 is not good, thereby increasing the electronic device 501 (or the antenna module 520 ). ), the temperature of the communication modem) can be prevented from rising rapidly.

According to various embodiments, a communication state between the processor 540 and the base station 505 may change over time. For example, as the location of the electronic device 501 (or the processor 540) changes, the distance between the electronic device 501 and the base station 505 may change. According to an embodiment, when the electronic device 501 is included in a moving vehicle, the electronic device 501 may move away from or approach the base station 505 as the vehicle moves. As the distance between the electronic device 501 and the base station 505 changes, the strength of the electric field may change from a strong electric field to a medium electric field or a weak electric field, or from a medium electric field or a weak electric field to a strong electric field. According to an embodiment, the processor 540 periodically or continuously recognizes the communication state with the base station 505 and operates the cooling fan 510 when it is determined that the communication state is not good. For example, when the communication state is not good, the processor 540 may increase the strength of an output signal in order to maintain the specified communication quality. As the intensity of a signal output from the processor 540 increases, heat generated inside the electronic device 501 may increase. The processor 540 may operate the cooling fan 510 to cool the internal heat of the electronic device 501 . According to an embodiment, the processor 540 may operate the cooling fan 510 before determining whether the temperature of the electronic device 501 is equal to or greater than a threshold temperature based on recognizing that the communication state is not good. . For example, the processor 540 may recognize an indicator (eg, RSRP) indicating the above-described communication state, and operate the cooling fan 510 when the recognized indicator is less than a specified value. In various embodiments, when the cooling fan 510 is already in operation, the processor 540, when it is determined that the recognized communication state is not good, causes the cooling fan 510 to rotate at a higher speed. The rotation speed of 510 may be increased. According to an embodiment, the processor 540 may operate the cooling fan 510 based on the recognized communication state being not good. In various embodiments, when the cooling fan 510 is already in operation, the processor 540 may further increase the rotation speed of the cooling fan 510 based on the recognized communication state being not good.

According to an embodiment, the processor 540 may recognize a load related to data transmitted/received during wireless communication with the base station 505 and operate the cooling fan 510 based on the recognized load. For example, the processor 540 may recognize a load related to transmitted/received data using a modulation and coding scheme (MCS).

According to an embodiment, the processor 540 may recognize a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) level of data transmitted and received during communication with the base station 505 using a designated network. For example, the MCS level may be information related to data to be transmitted and received. For example, the MCS level may be information indicating a load related to data to be transmitted/received. According to an embodiment, the MCS level may correspond to information about modulation and coding rate of data to be transmitted and received. For example, the MCS level may indicate a modulation order (or modulation scheme) and a code rate of data to be transmitted and received. For example, a large MCS level may indicate that the modulation order of data to be transmitted and received is high and the code rate of data to be transmitted/received is high. This may indicate a low rate.

According to an embodiment, the MCS level may correspond to a data transmission rate and/or data transmission amount transmitted/received by the electronic device 501 . According to an embodiment, the higher the MCS level is, the higher the transmission rate of data to be transmitted and received may be. According to an embodiment, as the MCS level has a larger value, the amount of data transmitted/received may be increased. For example, the transmission rate of the data of the second MCS level may be faster than the transmission rate of the data of the first MCS level. For example, a transmission amount of data of the second MCS level may be greater than a transmission amount of data of the first MCS level.

According to an embodiment, the processor 540 may transmit/receive first data of a first MCS level and second data of a second MCS level to/from the base station 505 . According to an embodiment, when the processor 540 transmits/receives second data of the second MCS level to and from the base station 505 , more resources than transmit/receive first data of the first MCS level to and from the base station 505 . (eg power) or may operate at high performance. According to an embodiment, a situation in which the processor 540 transmits and receives data of a relatively large MCS level may correspond to a situation in which a lot of heat is expected to be generated inside the electronic device 501 . For example, since the processor 540 operates with higher performance when transmitting and receiving second data of the second MCS level with the base station 505 and transmitting and receiving first data of the first MCS level with the base station 505, the electronic A lot of heat can be generated inside the device 501 . For example, when the processor 540 transmits/receives second data of the second MCS level to and from the base station 505 rather than when the processor 540 transmits/receives first data of the first MCS level to and from the base station 505 Accordingly, the temperature of the electronic device 501 may increase more significantly. According to an embodiment, the processor 540 may operate the cooling fan 510 to lower the temperature of the electronic device 501 .

According to an embodiment, the processor 540 may periodically or continuously recognize the MCS level of data transmitted and received with the base station 505 . According to an embodiment, the MCS level of data transmitted and received with the base station 505 may change. The processor 540 may periodically or continuously recognize the MCS level of data to operate the cooling fan 510 . According to an embodiment, the processor 540 may operate the cooling fan 510 before determining whether the temperature of the electronic device 501 is equal to or greater than a threshold temperature based on the MCS level of the transmitted and received data being equal to or greater than a specified value. have. For example, when the recognized MCS level is greater than or equal to a specified value, the processor 540 may operate the cooling fan 510 which is being stopped. In another example, when the recognized MCS level is greater than or equal to a specified value, the processor 540 may increase the rotation speed of the cooling fan 510 so that the cooling fan 510 in operation rotates at a higher speed.

For example, the first diagram 610 may indicate a temperature change of the electronic device when a value of an indicator (eg, RSRP) indicating a communication state is greater than or equal to a specified value. According to an embodiment, the second diagram 620 exemplarily illustrates a change in temperature of the electronic device in a situation of a medium electric field or a weak electric field in which the strength of the electric field between the electronic device and the base station is less than a reference value. For example, the second diagram 620 may represent a temperature change of the electronic device when a value of an indicator (eg, RSRP) indicating a communication state is less than a specified value.

Referring to FIG. 6A , the temperature of the electronic device in a situation where the strength of the electric field between the electronic device and the base station is a medium electric field or a weak electric field is a value higher than the temperature of the electronic device in a situation where the strength of the electric field is a strong electric field. can have For example, when the strength of the electric field is a medium electric field or a weak electric field, a lot of heat may be generated inside the electronic device as the strength of a signal transmitted to the base station is increased by the electronic device. According to an embodiment, in order to prevent deterioration of the electronic device (or a component included in the electronic device), it may be necessary to lower the temperature of the electronic device in a medium electric field or a weak electric field.

According to an embodiment, the electronic device may check whether a communication environment between the electronic device and the base station is good by periodically or continuously checking an indicator (eg, RSRP) indicating a communication state. According to an embodiment, when it is confirmed that the communication environment is not good, the electronic device operates a cooling fan (eg, the cooling fan 510 of FIG. 5 ) to lower the temperature of the electronic device. According to an embodiment, the electronic device may check the RSRP periodically or continuously to confirm that the RSRP corresponds to a value less than a specified value. For example, RSRP corresponding to a value less than a specified value may correspond to a situation in which the strength of the electric field between the electronic device and the base station is a medium electric field or a weak electric field (or a state in which the communication environment is not good). In this case, similar to the second diagram 620 of FIG. 6A , the temperature of the electronic device may increase. According to one embodiment, the electronic device, based on recognizing the RSRP corresponding to a value less than a specified value, by operating a cooling fan that is stopped or increasing the rotational speed of the cooling fan in operation to increase the temperature of the electronic device can be lowered In various embodiments, the electronic device may stop the cooling fan in operation or reduce the rotation speed of the cooling fan in operation based on recognizing the RSRP corresponding to a value greater than or equal to a specified value.

In this case, the electronic device may reduce the power consumption by reducing the rotation speed of the cooling fan.

Referring to FIG. 6A , the temperature of the electronic device when the electric field strength is a strong electric field may be maintained at a relatively lower temperature than when the electric field strength is a medium electric field or a weak electric field. According to an embodiment, the electronic device may not operate the cooling fan in a situation where the strength of the electric field is a strong electric field. Referring to FIG. 6A , in a situation in which the strength of the electric field is a medium electric field or a weak electric field, the temperature of the electronic device may increase by increasing the output intensity of the transmission signal. According to an embodiment, the electronic device continuously (or periodically) operates the cooling fan from the point in time when the strength of the electric field is confirmed as the medium or weak electric field through the RSRP while the RSRP corresponding to the strength of the electric field is detected. It is possible to prevent or reduce the temperature rise of the electronic device.

For example, the third diagram 630 may represent a temperature change of the electronic device when the MCS level is the fifth MCS level MCS5. According to an embodiment, the fourth diagram 640 exemplarily illustrates a change in temperature of the electronic device when the MCS level of data transmitted and received with the base station is equal to or greater than a specified value. For example, the fourth diagram 640 may represent a temperature change of the electronic device when the MCS level is the 24th MCS level MCS24.

Referring to FIG. 6B , the temperature of the electronic device when the MCS level of data transmitted and received by the electronic device with the base station is high may be greater than the temperature of the electronic device when the MCS level of the data is low. For example, more heat may be generated when the electronic device transmits and receives data having an MCS level of data equal to or greater than a specified value than when transmitting and receiving data having an MCS level of data less than a specified value. According to an embodiment, in order to prevent deterioration or damage to the electronic device (or a component included in the electronic device), the electronic device may need to lower the temperature of the electronic device when the MCS level of data is greater than or equal to a specified value. .

According to an embodiment, the electronic device may periodically or continuously check the MCS level of transmitted/received data to confirm that the MCS level corresponds to a value greater than or equal to a specified value. For example, an MCS level corresponding to a value greater than or equal to a specified value may indicate that the load of the electronic device transmitting and receiving data with the base station is high. For example, an MCS level corresponding to a value greater than or equal to a specified value may indicate that a data transmission rate transmitted/received by the electronic device is high. For example, an MCS level corresponding to a value greater than or equal to a specified value may indicate that the amount of data transmitted and received by the electronic device is large. The electronic device according to an embodiment may use more resources (eg, power) or operate with high performance in order to transmit/receive data having an MCS level greater than or equal to a specified value to/from the base station, so that generated heat may be large. In this case, similar to the fourth diagram 640 of FIG. 6B , the temperature of the electronic device may increase. According to an embodiment, the electronic device operates a cooling fan that is being stopped based on recognizing an MCS level corresponding to a value equal to or greater than a specified value or increases the rotation speed of the cooling fan in operation to lower the temperature of the electronic device. can In various embodiments, the electronic device may stop the cooling fan in operation or reduce the rotation speed of the cooling fan in operation based on recognizing the MCS level corresponding to a value less than a specified value. When the MCS level is less than the specified value, the temperature of the electronic device may be maintained below the threshold temperature. In this case, the electronic device may reduce the power consumption by reducing the rotation speed of the cooling fan.

Referring to FIG. 6B , the temperature of the electronic device in a situation in which the data transmission speed (or transmission amount) is small (eg, a situation in which the MCS level corresponds to less than a specified value) is a situation in which the data transmission speed (or transmission amount) is large. (eg, a situation in which the MCS level corresponds to a specified value or higher) may be lower than the temperature of the electronic device. According to an embodiment, the electronic device may not operate the cooling fan in a situation where the data transmission speed (or the transmission amount) is small. Referring to FIG. 6B , when the data transmission speed (or the amount of data) is high, the temperature of the electronic device may rise, and thus the performance of the electronic device may be deteriorated. According to an embodiment, while continuously detecting (or recognizing) the MCS level, the electronic device operates the cooling fan from the point in time when it is confirmed that the MCS level is greater than or equal to a specified value to reduce or prevent the temperature increase of the electronic device. can Since the third diagram 630 and the fourth diagram 640 of FIG. 6B are examples for convenience of description, various embodiments are not limited to the third diagram 630 and the fourth diagram 640 .
