Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a 5G or pre-5G communication system for supporting a higher data rate beyond a 4G communication system such as LTE. Disclosed is a method and apparatus for transmitting or receiving a reference signal in a beamforming communication system. The method comprises the steps of: generating a reference signal sequence for a reference signal that can be used for beam searching; mapping the reference signal sequence to modulation symbols corresponding to resource elements having a predetermined identical subcarrier spacing among resource elements that can be used to transmit the reference signal; generating an OFDM symbol signal including the modulation symbols; and transmitting the OFDM symbol signal using at least one predetermined transmission beam among transmission beams that can be used by a base station.

Claim (Index 16):
An apparatus within a base station transmitting a reference signal in a beamforming communication system, the apparatus comprising:\n a baseband transmitter configured to:\n generate a reference signal sequence for a reference signal to be used for a beam search, to map the reference signal sequence to modulation symbols which correspond to resource elements with same subcarrier spacing which is predetermined on a frequency domain among resource elements to be used for transmitting the reference signal, and \n generate an orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM) symbol signal including the modulation symbols, wherein the OFDM symbol signal is configured such that a same sequence pattern is repeated a predetermined number of times by a period of a predetermined sub-symbol duration on a time domain; and \n a radio frequency (RF) transmitting unit configured to transmit the OFDM symbol signal using at least one predetermined transmission beam among transmission beams capable of being used by a base station.
