Abstract

Provided is a beam transmission/reception method, which is executed in a wireless communication system in which a terminal and a base station use a beam to communicate to and from each other. The method includes a step of grouping, by the base station, when the base station is to receive a random access channel signal transmitted as a connection request from the terminal, a plurality of beam directions by combining a main beam direction, which is determined as suitable for reception of the random access channel signal, with one or more beam directions adjacent to the main beam direction, and of receiving the random access channel signal with use of the grouped plurality of beam directions.
