Abstract
A method for beam alignment through location recognition in a wireless communication system and an apparatus therefor are provided. The method includes a first process of configuring a beam set including beams based on relative location information of a terminal, a second process of receiving reference signals (RSs) from the terminal by using the beams, and a third process of determining an optimal beam from among the beams included in the beam set, and the third process includes configuring a window including adjacent beams in the beam set, measuring beams within the window by using the RSs, determining a local optimal beam from among the measured beams, and re-configuring a window based on the local optimal beam.
