1. An electronic component comprising:
a memory; and
at least one communication processor configured to support first network communication with a first network and second network communication with a second network different from the first network,
wherein the at least one communication processor is configured to:
identify, based at least on a current timepoint of a designated time period, a first current cumulative SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) value corresponding to the first network communication and a second current cumulative SAR value corresponding to the second network communication, wherein the first and second current cumulative SAR values correspond to cumulative transmission power from a start timepoint to the current timepoint of the designated time period,
estimate a first future cumulative SAR value corresponding to the first network during a remaining time of the designated time period, and a second future cumulative SAR value corresponding to the second network during the remaining time of the designated time period, and
based at least on the first current cumulative SAR value, the second current cumulative SAR value, the first future cumulative SAR value and the second future cumulative SAR value, control first transmission power corresponding to the first network to be limited to a first back off transmission power and control second transmission power corresponding to the second network to be limited to a second back off transmission power, so that a sum of the first and second current cumulative SAR values and the first and second future cumulative SAR values during designated time period is maintained at a value less than or equal to a threshold cumulative SAR value of the designated time period,
wherein, during the remaining time, an allocated amount of SAR associated with the first back off transmission power is to be greater than an allocated amount of SAR associated with the second back off transmission power.
