    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a sensor network, Machine Type Communication (MTC), Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication, and technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the above technologies, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. Embodiments of the present invention provide a device and a method for estimating a position between wireless apparatuses using a signal transmitted and received between wireless apparatuses in a wireless communication system. A device of a first wireless apparatus for estimating a position comprises: a transceiver for transmitting and receiving a signal to and from a second wireless apparatus; and a position estimator for estimating a position of the second wireless apparatus using a signal transmitted and received through the transceiver. The position estimator comprises a range estimator for estimating the distance between the first wireless apparatus and the second wireless apparatus on the basis of a first time difference from a time point at which a request range packet is transmitted to the second wireless apparatus to a time point at which the reception of a response range packet transmitted from the second wireless apparatus is sensed and a second time difference from a time point at which the reception of the required range packet is sensed by the second wireless apparatus to a time point at which the response range packet is transmitted.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a sensor network, Machine Type Communication (MTC), Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication, and technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the above technologies, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. An apparatus and method for measuring a distance between wireless devices using a first signal transmitted/received between the wireless devices in a wireless communication system are provided. The method includes: receiving the first signal for distance measurement transmitted from a first of the wireless devices; receiving a signal reflected by a reflector after being transmitted from the first of the wireless devices; and based on the received first signal and the received reflected signal, estimating a distance between the second of the wireless devices and the reflector.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for beamforming in a wireless communication system are provided. The method of supporting beamforming in a wireless communication device includes detecting a direction change of the wireless communication device while communicating with a peer device. The method of supporting beamforming in a wireless communication device also includes adjusting a beam direction for communication with the peer device based on information indicating a direction change of the wireless communication device.
