1. A method for operating a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- performing at least one access procedure for accessing a base station of a wireless network using a first antenna and for accessing another base station of the wireless network using a second antenna; and
communicating with the base station using the first antenna and communicating with the other base station using the second antenna;
determining, based on information regarding a state of a first radio link between the base station and the first antenna and a state of a second radio link between the other base station and the second antenna, a representative base station for transmitting control information for the second antenna among the base station and the other base station; and
transmitting, based on determining the representative base station as the base station, the control information for the second antenna to the base station using the first antenna.
