Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a pre-5th-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates Beyond 4th-Generation (4G) communication system such as long term evolution (LTE). An apparatus of a terminal in a wireless communication system is provided. The apparatus includes at least one transceiver and at least one processor operably coupled to the at least one transceiver. The at least one processor performs a frequency scanning through a first beam set, identifies at least one cell based on the frequency scanning, and communicates with the at least one identified cell through a second beam set.
Claims22
A method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- performing a frequency scanning for at least one frequency channel based on each beam included in a scan beam set of the terminal;
- identifying at least one cell based on the frequency scanning;
- and
- communicating with the identified at least one cell based on a communication beam set of the terminal,
- wherein a total number of beams in the scan beam set is smaller than a total number of beams in the communication beam set.
A terminal in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:
- at least one transceiver;
- and
- at least one processor in communication with the at least one transceiver,
- wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
- perform a frequency scanning for at least one frequency channel based on each beam included in a scan beam set of the terminal,
- identify at least one cell based on the frequency scanning, and
- communicate with the identified at least one cell based on a communication beam set of the terminal,
- wherein a total number of beams in the scan beam set is smaller than a total number of beams in the communication beam set.
