An apparatus and a method for beam selection and inter-beam scheduling using beam scanning in a beamformed wireless communication system are provided. A method for transmitting a signal in a transmitting stage includes transmitting a reference signal through at least one transmission beam, receiving channel information of at least one transmission beam from a receiving stage, selecting a first transmission beam for sending a signal to the receiving stage, by considering the channel information of the at least one transmission beam provided from the receiving stage, and performing inter-beam scheduling for the receiving stage by considering ID information of the first transmission beam.
