The present disclosure relates to a pre-5th-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates Beyond 4th-Generation (4G) communication system such as Long Term Evolution (LTE). A method for operating a terminal in a wireless communication system comprises transmitting, to a base station, at least one reference signal through at least one first transmission beam and if ACK information for the at least one reference signal is received from the base station, transmitting, to the base station, the at least one reference signal through at least one second transmission beam. A width of the at least one second transmission beam is greater than a width of the at least one first transmission beam.
