A METHOD AND MOBIEL DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING A SCAN PERIOD OF SIGNAL DECTION OF THE MOBIEL DEVICE IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

The present disclosure relates to a technology for sensor networks, machine to machine (M2M), machine type communication (MTC), and internet of things (IoT). The present disclosure can be applied to various intelligent services based on the technology such as smart home, smart buildings, smart cities, smart cars or connected cars, health care, digital education, retail business, security and safety related services and the like. In wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the method for a mobile device to control a scan period for detecting a short-range communication signal and the method for controlling a scan to connect an external device by the mobile device comprise: a step of checking whether a scan period of a first connection function is changeable, based on the searched service during a scan period of the first connection function; a step of checking a state of a second connection function of the mobile device when the scan period of the first connection function is able to be changed; and a step of changing a scan period of the first connection function based on a checked state of the second connection function.
