Abstract
A communication system is provided. The communication system supports higher data rates Beyond 4th-Generation (4G) communication system such as Long Term Evolution (LTE). A first apparatus in a wireless communication system is provided. The apparatus includes an antenna array, at least one transceiver, and at least one processor. The transceiver is configured to transmit signals by using a beam set, and receive a signal for indicating at least one beam in the beam set from a second apparatus. The processor is configured to determine an auxiliary beam pair, based on the at least one beam. The transceiver is configured to transmit reference signals to the second apparatus by using the auxiliary beam pair, and receive feedback information relating to the auxiliary beam pair from the second apparatus. The at least one processor is configured to determine, based on the feedback information, a communication direction relating to the second apparatus.
