1. An electronic device comprising:
a wireless communication circuit configured to support a Bluetooth network;
at least one processor; and
a memory,
wherein the memory is configured to store instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the electronic device to:
generate a first link with a first external electronic device based on the Bluetooth network,
generate a second link with a second external electronic device based on the Bluetooth network,
transmit information to the second external electronic device through the second link, the information being used by the second external electronic device to monitor the first link,
negotiate a timing for transmitting a response message to the first external electronic device with the second external electronic device based on at least one of functions of a master device and a slave device, a battery status of the electronic device and the second external electronic device, or a type of the response message, wherein the timing comprises a first timing and a second timing corresponding to a timing later than the first timing by a specified time,
receive a data packet from the first external electronic device, and
transmit the response message to the first external electronic device at the negotiated timing in response to receiving the data packet.
