METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR VIRTUALIZING ANTENNA IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method for reconfiguring antennas by a terminal in a wireless communication system, comprising:
- transmitting, by the terminal, an antenna reconfiguration request to a base station;
receiving, by the terminal from the base station, information indicating whether the antenna reconfiguration request is authorized;
transmitting, by the terminal, antenna reconfiguration information to the base station when the information indicating whether the antenna reconfiguration request is authorized indicates authorization of the antenna reconfiguration request; and
receiving, by the terminal from the base station, reconfiguration completion acknowledgement information.
