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). Embodiments herein provide a method for beam behavior of CSI-RS for FeMIMO. The method performed by a UE includes sending UE capability information comprising a beamSwitchTiming to at least one B S. The beamSwitchTiming indicates a minimum number of OFDM symbols between DCI triggering of aperiodic CSI-RS and aperiodic CSI-RS transmission. Further, the method includes receiving a PDCCH DCI for reception of the aperiodic CSI-RS from the at least one BS. Further, the method includes determining a default beam rule for reception of the aperiodic CSI-RS triggered by the DCI. Further, the method includes receiving the aperiodic CSI-RS from the at least one BS. Furthermore, the method includes processing the aperiodic CSI-RS by applying the default beam rule.
