The present disclosure relates to a pre-5-generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates beyond 4-generation (4G) communication system such as long term evolution (LTE). Disclosed is an apparatus of a base station (BS). The BS may be configured to determine whether to use a beam of the BS and a beam of a terminal, which have been used in a downlink, in an uplink based on capability information received from the terminal and whether an antenna of the BS used for communication with the terminal is a transmission/reception common antenna and perform an uplink beam search when it is determined that the beam of the BS or the beam of the terminal is not used in the uplink.
