Reference signal measurement method and apparatus for use in mobile communication system
For converging a 5 th -Generation (5G) communication system and supporting higher data rates beyond a 4 th -Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT), a channel state information (CSI) acquisition method includes transmitting CSI configuration information to a terminal, selecting a beam for transmitting a beamformed CSI reference signal (BF-CSI-RS) to the terminal, transmitting the BF-CSI-RS to the terminal using the selected beam, and notifying the terminal of a beamforming update.
