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). Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and an apparatus for adaptively determining a beam sweeping pattern of a base station in a beamforming-based wireless communication system. An embodiment of the present invention provides an operating method of a serving base station in a wireless communication system, the operating method comprising: receiving, from at least one terminal, beam collision information indicating a collision between beams received from the serving base station and at least one neighboring base station adjacent to the serving base station; and adjusting a beam sweeping pattern of a beam transmitted to the at least one terminal on the basis of the received beam collision information. Various other embodiments of the present invention are also disclosed.
