Abstract
A base station for transmitting and receiving signals in a wireless communication system is provided. The base station includes a transceiver, and at least one processor configured to obtain reception antenna weights for the base station including an array of a plurality of antennas, and transmission antenna weights for at least one user equipment (UE), convert signals received from the at least one UE through a plurality of reception paths, into beam-domain signals, based on the transmission antenna weights and the reception antenna weights, combine the converted beam-domain signals by applying predefined combining weights to the converted beam-domain signals, and obtain data from the combined signals.
