Abstract

The disclosure relates to a communication scheme and system for converging a 5 th generation (5G) communication system for supporting a data rate higher than that of a 4 th generation (4G) system with an internet of things (IoT) technology. The disclosure is applicable to intelligent services (e.g., smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car or connected car, health care, digital education, retail, and security and safety-related services) based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology. An operation method of a terminal for receiving data from multiple Transmission and Reception Points (TRPs) participated in non-coherent joint transmission is disclosed. The method includes receiving information on HARQ-ACK codebook configuration and configuring and transmitting HARQ-ACK codebooks corresponding to the multiple TRPs based on the received information.
