The present disclosure is related to the 5G or pre-5G communication systems for supporting a higher data transfer rate than that of the 4G communication system, such as LTE. A method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include receiving user equipment (UE) status information at least one UE, determining a density and pattern of a measured reference signal (MRS) based on the received UE status information and previously stored status information of active UEs, providing information about the determined density and pattern of the MRS to at least one active UE within a coverage area of the eNB, transmitting the MRS in a predetermined period based on the determined density and pattern, and transmitting the MRS based on the determined density and pattern and data to be provided to the at least one active UE.
