Abstract
A pre-5th-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system for supporting higher data rates Beyond 4th-Generation (4G) communication system such as Long Term Evolution (LTE) is provided. The device of a radio unit (RU) of a base station in a wireless communication system includes at least one transceiver and at least one processor coupled to the at least one transceiver, wherein the at least one processor is configured to receive a first control message including a section extension field from a digital unit (DU) via a fronthaul interface, identify additional information based on the section extension field, and acquire a beamforming weight based on the additional information, wherein the first control message is configured to schedule a terminal in a control plane.
