A random access method in a beam division multiple access (BDMA) system including: receiving, by a terminal, a reference signal of at least one beam sector transmitted from an access point (AP) device; estimating, by the terminal, whether the terminal is in a center area of the beam sector provided by the AP device or in the boundary area of the beam sector by using the strength of the reference signal; transmitting, by the terminal, a different preamble to the AP device in accordance with location information of whether the terminal is located in the center area or in the boundary area; and determining, by the AP device, a target beam sector for transmitting information about uplink resources to be used by the terminal, among a plurality of beam sectors on the basis of the received preamble.

Random access method in BDMA system and random access method in pattern/polarized BDMA system

A coordinated transmission method based on beam division multiple access and an apparatus performing the same are disclosed. The coordinated transmission method in a beam division multiple access environment, which divides a service target region into a plurality of beam sectors through a plurality of antenna arrays having at least one of a pattern characteristic and a polarization characteristic, includes receiving a coordination request from a user terminal located in the service target region and performing any one among a macro diversity operation, a coordinated silence operation, and a coordinated beamforming operation for the user terminal based on an interference level included in the coordination request.
