Abstract:
A method and an apparatus are provided for allocating a resource by a first base station using a plurality of beams in a wireless communication system. The method includes determining a plurality of zones within a cell coverage of the first base station; receiving channel state information (CSI) from a user equipment (UE), wherein resources of the UE are allocated by the first base station; identifying a first zone in which the UE has entered from the plurality of zones based on the CSI at a time domain; estimating if the UE might enter a second zone among the plurality of zones based on a status of the second zone and a moving direction of the UE; and transmitting, to a second base station, a message requesting allocation of additional resources for the second zone to the UE, if the UE might enter the second zone.
