Apparatus and method for operating multiple beamforming transceiver in wireless communication system

A method for operating a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

• receiving allocation information for a plurality of beam patterns corresponding to resource periods including a first resource period and a second resource period;
• receiving first reference signals with a first beamwidth in the first resource period;
• receiving second reference signals with a second beamwidth in the second resource period;
• transmitting feedback information regarding channel quality for at least one of the first reference signals and the second reference signals;
• and
• receiving data signals transmitted through a beam pattern which is identified based on the feedback information, among the plurality of beam patterns,
• wherein the first beamwidth is different from the second beamwidth.

An apparatus of a base station in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising:

• at least one transceiver;
• and
• at least one processor operatively coupled to the at least one transceiver, wherein the at least one transceiver is configured to:
• transmit allocation information for a plurality of beam patterns corresponding to resource periods including a first resource period and a second resource period,
• transmit first reference signals with a first beamwidth in the first resource period,
• transmit second reference signals with a second beamwidth in the second resource period,
• receive feedback information regarding channel quality for at least one of the first reference signals and the second reference signals, and
• transmit data signals through a beam pattern which is identified based on the feedback information, among the plurality of beam patterns, and
• wherein the first beamwidth is different from the second beamwidth.
