Claim 14:
15. A base station (BS) in a wireless communication system, the BS comprising:
a processor configured to generate configuration information of an antenna system including antenna modules for a multi-input multi-output (MIMO) operation; and
a transceiver operably coupled to the processor, the transceiver configured to:
transmit, to a user equipment (UE), the configuration information of the antenna system including the antenna modules for the MIMO operation, and
receive, from the UE, a channel state information (CSI) report for one or more of collocated antenna groups in the antenna system,

wherein:
a number of the collocated antenna groups that each includes one or more of the antenna modules is identified based on the configuration information, and
a number of the antenna modules for each type of the antenna modules in each of the collocated antenna groups is identified based on the configuration information, each of the collocated antenna groups including one or more types of the antenna modules.
