METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ADAPTIVE BEAM HOPPING IN MULTI CELL MULTI USER COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for performing adaptive beam hopping in a multi-cell multi-user communication system. The method includes: making a request for allowing multiple accesses for beam hopping for a predetermined operation time to a plurality of accessible base stations (BSs); receiving a response to the request from two or more BSs among the plurality of BSs and determining, according to a predetermined reference, beams above the reference among transmission beams of the two or more BSs as available beams; determining a beam hopping pattern based on the determined available beams and transmitting the determined hopping pattern to the two or more BSs; and forming reception beams based on the determined beam hopping pattern to receive signals.
