Method for transmitting signal using port virtualization matrix, and electronic device performing method

Abstract

A base station is provided. The base station includes a transceiver configured to exchange data with an external device, memory storing one or more computer programs, and one or more processors communicatively coupled to the transceiver and the memory, wherein the one or more computer programs include computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the base station to generate a channel state indicator-reference signal (CSI-RS) to be transmitted to a user terminal through a plurality of antennas of the base station, transmit a test signal generated by applying an initial port virtualization matrix to the CSI-RS to the user terminal through a transceiver, receive, from the user terminal, rank information for channels to which the initial port virtualization matrix is applied and information about a target precoding matrix for the channels, obtain partial channel information on the basis of an sounding reference signal (SRS) received from the user terminal, and generate a target port virtualization matrix on the basis of the rank information, the target precoding matrix, and the partial channel information.
