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). A method for operating a radio unit (RU) of a base station is provided. The method includes transmitting, to a digital unit (DU), a first message comprising a value indicating the maximum number of masks for one resource area, and receiving, from the DU, a second message generated based on the value, wherein the mask may indicate resources to which the same beam is applied within the resource area.
