Abstract
The disclosure relates to a 5th Generation (5G) or pre-5G communication system for supporting a higher data rate than a 4th Generation (4G) communication system such as Long Term Evolution (LTE). According to various embodiments of the disclosure, an apparatus of a base station in a wireless communication system is provided. The apparatus includes: a master Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA); a plurality of slave FPGAs controlled by the master FPGA; and an address masker coupled to the master FPGA and the plurality of slave FPGAs, wherein the address masker is configured to: receive different address bits assigned respectively to the plurality of slave FPGAs by the master FPGA; for the different address bits, mask bit values at a specific position with the same value; and transmit masked address bits corresponding respectively to the plurality of slave FPGAs.
