Method and apparatus for random access in millimeter wave systems

Abstract

A communication technique in which a fifth generation (5G) communication system for supporting increases in high data transmission rate(s) after a fourth generation (4G) system converges with an Internet of things (IoT) technology, and a system thereof are provided. The system may be applied to intelligent services (e.g., smart hole, smart building, smart city, smart car or connected car, healthcare, digital education, retail business, security and safety-related services) based on a 5G communication technology and IoT-related technology. The present disclosure includes a structure of a signal and a channel, and an operation method and apparatus for supporting random access for a system capable of expecting remarkable increase(s) in communication capacity using beamforming on a wide frequency band in next generation communication supporting a millimeter wave (mmWave) band.
