Abstract
The disclosure relates to a pre-5th-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates Beyond 4th-Generation (4G) communication system such as Long Term Evolution (LTE). In a wireless communication system, a base station apparatus may include at least one transceiver, and at least one processor operatively coupled with the at least one transceiver. The at least one transceiver may transmit, to a terminal, configuration information associated with a primary beam and a secondary beam. The processor may determine the primary beam and the secondary beam based on feedback information regarding beams of the base station, received from the terminal. The at least one transceiver may be configured to transmit, to the terminal, indication information for identifying the primary beam and the secondary beam, perform communication with the terminal by using the primary beam, and perform communication with the terminal by using the primary beam and the secondary beam based on a determination of a change of a communication state for the primary beam.
