1. An electronic device comprising:
processing circuitry configured to: set a transmitting and receiving operation as active state for a first operating period, wherein the first operating period is a designated time period starting at a beacon transmitting timing; determine whether to set the transmitting and receiving operation as a state in which transmission or reception is limited after the first operating period elapses; and set a transmitting and receiving operation as active state for a second operating period such that there is an inactive state set between the first operating period and the second operating period, the second operating period being scheduled in advance, wherein a start time, duration, and interval of the second operating period is based on information included in a beacon signal transmitted from the electronic device to a counterpart device.
