An apparatus for spatial filtering using a difference in propagation delay between an electromagnetic signal and an acoustic signal, the apparatus comprising:
- a distance information measurement unit storing a distance from a user terminal to a target terminal;
- a transmission unit to transmit an acoustic signal and an electromagnetic signal with a transmission delay using the distance to determine whether neighboring terminals correspond to the target terminal;
- and
- a response signal receiving unit to receive a response signal from neighboring terminals that have received the acoustic signal and the electromagnetic signal.
