Disclosed are: a communication technique for merging, with IoT technology, a 5G communication system for supporting a data transmission rate higher than that of a 4G system; and a system therefor. The disclosure can be applied to intelligent services (for example, smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car or connected car, healthcare, digital education, retail, security, and safety related services, and the like) on the basis of 5G communication technology and IoT-related technology. According to the disclosure, a terminal of a communication system can transmit, to a base station, information related to a mobile characteristic or a channel time-varying characteristic, receive information related to reference signal transmission from the base station, generate a reference signal on the basis of the information related to reference signal transmission, and transmit the reference signal to the base station.
