Abstract:
A method and apparatus perform Uplink (UL) beam tracking in a beamforming-based wireless communication system. A Mobile Station (MS) repeatedly transmits code sequences mapped respectively to MS transmit beams through each MS transmit beam as many times as the number of Base Station (BS) receive beams while sweeping the MS transmit beams. The MS receives, from a BS, transmit beam information indicating at least one best transmit beam selected from the MS transmit beams by the BS, and allocation information used to allocate UL resources for UL feedback. The MS transmits best beam information indicating the at least one best transmit beam and a MS identifier to the BS using the UL resources.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving data in a communication system using beamforming are provided. The transmission method includes transmitting a control channel signal in a control channel region of a subframe using a first transmission beam of a base station. The transmission method also includes transmitting a data signal during a predetermined time period of a data region after the control channel region in the subframe using a second transmission beam determined based on the first transmission beam. The transmission method further includes transmitting a data signal in a remaining data region following the predetermined time period using a scheduled transmission beam.
