A method and apparatus for performing fractional beamforming using a massive antenna array at a Base Station (BS) in a wireless communication system are disclosed. The method includes dividing the massive antenna array into partitions by rows or by columns, transmitting control information for the fractional beamforming to a User Equipment (UE), receiving feedback information based on the control information from the UE, and transmitting a signal to the UE by performing beamforming using sub-precoders for the partitions and a linking precoder that links the partitions. The control information includes at least one of information about the partitions, information about pilot patterns corresponding to the partitions, information about the linking precoder, and information indicating whether the partitions belong to the same transmission point. |
