7. The method of claim 6 ,
wherein the connection interval parameter and the latency parameter are differently configured in each of the plurality of devices.
8. The method of claim 1 ,
wherein when the first device plays a role as a server, the voice data is transmitted to the plurality of devices through an indication message, and
wherein a specific characteristic for transmitting the voice data of the first device comprises a client descriptor configured to transmit the indication message when the voice data is generated.
9. A first device for transmitting and receiving data using Bluetooth, the first device comprising:
a communication unit configured to perform communication with an external device in a wireless or wired manner;
a memory configured to store data; and
a processor functionally connected to the communication unit,
wherein the processor is configured to:
generate a group for group communication with a plurality of devices;
