Apparatus and method for fronthaul transmission in wireless communication system

The present disclosure relates to a 5th-Generation (5G) or pre-5G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate than a 4th-Generation (4G) communication system such as Long Term Evolution (LTE). According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, a method performed by a digital unit (DU) of a base station in a wireless communication system may comprise the steps of: configuring a segment extension field including additional information in a first control message; and transmitting a first control message to a radio unit (RU) of the base station, where the first control message includes information about one or more terminals scheduled in the base station. 本公开涉及一种用于支持比诸如长期演进(LTE)的第四代(4G)通信系统更高的数据传输速率的第五代(5G)或前5G通信系统。根据本公开的各种实施例，由无线通信系统中的基站的数字单元(DU)执行的方法可以包括以下步骤：在第一控制消息中配置包括附加信息的段扩展字段；和向基站的无线电单元(RU)发送第一控制消息，其中，第一控制消息包括关于基站中所调度的一个或多个终端的信息。
