Abstract

A method and an apparatus for controlling a radio resource of an electronic device are disclosed. According to various embodiments of the present invention, the method can comprise the steps of: receiving, from an electronic device, an assistance information message related to overheating of the electronic device using a first radio resource; transmitting, to the electronic device, a first radio resource control (RRC) connection reconfiguration message for allocating, to the electronic device, a second radio resource that has been reduced more than the first radio resource; receiving, from the electronic device, a first RRC reconfiguration completion message as a response to the first RRC connection reconfiguration message; and transmitting, to the electronic device, a second RRC connection reconfiguration message for allocating, to the electronic device, a third radio resource that has been expanded more than the second radio resource at a first time point after the first RRC reconfiguration completion message has been received.
