Method and apparatus for managing beam in beamforming system

Abstract

A pre-5th-generation (5G) or 5G communication system for supporting higher data rates Beyond 4th-generation (4G) communication system such as long term evolution (LTE) is provided. In a beam update method of a terminal, measuring a beam reference signal (BRS) transmitted from a base station, determining whether a beam measurement information transmission condition is satisfied, if the beam measurement information transmission condition is satisfied, transmitting beam measurement information to the base station, receiving information about a base station transmitting beam from the base station, and updating information about a terminal receiving beam based on the received information about the base station transmitting beam.
