Abstract
An apparatus for transmitting and receiving signal and a method thereof are provided. The apparatus for transmitting signals selects at least one array of a plurality of arrays connected to the apparatus based on a spatial covariance matrix of an uplink from a terminal to the plurality of arrays, wherein the spatial covariance matrix ensures channel reciprocity at downlink from the plurality of arrays with the terminal, and forms a transmission beam to be transmitted to the terminal through the at least one selected array.
