Abstract

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a first communication circuit, a second communication circuit, a processor configured to be electrically connected with the first communication circuit and the second communication circuit, and a memory configured to be electrically connected with the processor. The memory includes instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to obtain location information of the electronic device, transmit a first message for requesting to change a state of the electronic device to a network, receive a first response message to the transmitted first message from the network, transmit a second message for requesting a parameter for an operation cycle of the second communication circuit to the network, receive a second response message to the second message from the network, and change the operation cycle of the second communication circuit to a value corresponding to a current state of the electronic device.

Claims (36)

1. A server device in a wireless communication system, the server device comprising:

a communication circuit; and

a processor configured to:

receive a first message for requesting to change a state of an electronic device from another server device;

transmit a response message for the first message to the other server device;

receive a second message for requesting a parameter for an operation cycle of the electronic device from the electronic device;

determine a parameter for the operation cycle in response to the second message; and

transmit a second response message including the determined parameter to the electronic device,

wherein the state of the electronic device is based on location information of the electronic device.

2. The server device of claim 1 ,

wherein the second message comprises an attach request message, a tracking area update (TAU) request message, or a routing area update (RAU) request message, and

wherein the second response message comprises an attach response message, a TAU response message, or an RAU response message.

3. The server device of claim 1 ,

wherein the second message comprises the parameter for the operation cycle of the electronic device, and

wherein the second response message comprises the same parameter as the parameter included in the second message.

4. The server device of claim 1 , wherein the parameter comprises at least one of a cycle where the electronic device is activated and deactivated and a time period when the electronic device monitors a location information request signal.

5. The server device of claim 4 , wherein the parameter further comprises a first timer value at which the electronic device operates in an idle mode and a second timer value at which the electronic device operates in a power saving mode (PSM).

6. The server device of claim 1 , wherein the state of the electronic device is further based on at least one of information about a pre-specified area or information about a pre-specified movement path location information of the electronic device.

7. The server device of claim 6 , wherein the state of the electronic device is further based on at least one of movement speed information of the electronic device or remaining battery power information of the electronic device.

8. A method of a server device in a wireless communication system, comprising:

receiving a first message for requesting to change a state of an electronic device from another server device;

transmitting a response message for the first message to the other server device;

receiving a second message for requesting a parameter for an operation cycle of the electronic device from the electronic device;

determining a parameter for the operation cycle in response to the second message; and

transmitting a second response message including the determined parameter to the electronic device,

wherein the state of the electronic device is based on location information of the electronic device.

9. The method of claim 8 ,

wherein the second message comprises an attach request message, a tracking area update (TAU) request message, or a routing area update (RAU) request message, and

wherein the second response message comprises an attach response message, a TAU response message, or an RAU response message.

10. The method of claim 8 ,

wherein the second message comprises the parameter for the operation cycle of the electronic device, and

wherein the second response message comprises the same parameter as the parameter included in the second message.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the parameter comprises at least one of a cycle where the electronic device is activated and deactivated and a time period when the electronic device monitors a location information request signal.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the parameter further comprises a first timer value at which the electronic device operates in an idle mode and a second timer value at which the electronic device operates in a power saving mode (PSM).

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the state of the electronic device is further based on at least one of information about a pre-specified area or information about a pre-specified movement path location information of the electronic device.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the state of the electronic device is further based on at least one of movement speed information of the electronic device or remaining battery power information of the electronic device.
