Abstract
Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for performing communications based on multiple antennas in a communication network. An operation method performed in a multi-antenna performing beamforming in a communication network according to the present disclosure may comprise selecting a beamformer generating a transmission beam for transmitting data to a plurality of communication nodes included in the communication network among a plurality of beamformers included in the multi-antenna; selecting at least one antenna panel corresponding to each of the plurality of communication nodes among a plurality of antenna panels included in the selected beamformer; configuring parameters for respectively allocating independent transmission beams to the plurality of communication nodes based on the selected at least one antenna panel; and transmitting data to the plurality of communication nodes using transmission beams through the plurality of antenna panels based on the configured parameter.
