Apparatus and method for adjusting beam pattern in communication system supporting beam division multipile access scheme

A beam pattern adjusting apparatus in a communication system supporting a Beam Division Multiple Access (BDMA) scheme, the beam pattern adjusting apparatus comprising:

• a controller configured to determine whether a Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) value for each antenna included in an antenna array included in the beam pattern adjusting apparatus is greater than or equal to a threshold VSWR value, and detect whether each of the antennas is operable if an antenna of the antenna array has a VSWR value that is greater than or equal to the threshold VSWR value;
• and
• an adjuster configured to, if it is determined that at least one of the antennas is inoperable, adjust a beam pattern of at least one of the antennas that is operable.

A beam pattern adjusting apparatus in a communication system supporting a Beam Division Multiple Access (BDMA) scheme, the beam pattern adjusting apparatus comprising:

• a processor configured to determine whether a Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) value for each antenna included in an array antenna included in the beam pattern adjusting apparatus is greater than or equal to a threshold VSWR value, detect whether each of the antennas is operable if an antenna of the antenna array has a VSWR value is greater than or equal to the threshold VSWR value, and adjust, if it is determined that at least one of the antennas is inoperable, a beam pattern of at least one of the antennas that is operable.
