Abstract

The present 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). The present disclosure relates to an operating method of an electronic device for estimating an angle for another device, including: determining errors for candidate angles of channel measurement values corresponding to a plurality of beams for the other device; determining distances between the angle of a beam determined through beam training with the other device and at least one candidate angle; and estimating an angle for the other device based on the distances and the errors. In addition, the present disclosure also includes embodiments different from the above described embodiment.
