Zusammenfassung:	An apparatus and a method for performing a beamforming operation in an access point (AP) in a millimeter Wave (mmWave) communication system are provided. The method includes transmitting a directional reference signal (RS) in an RS transmission (Tx) interval, and transmitting a training signal in an interval different from an interval during which the directional RS is transmitted in the RS Tx interval based on beamforming patterns supported in the AP, wherein a length of the training signal is shorter than a length of the directional RS. The apparatus and the method relate to a pre-5th-generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates beyond 4th-generation (4G) communication system such as a long term evolution (LTE).
