1. A method of a terminal, comprising:
receiving, from a base station, a first synchronization signal block (SSB) having an SSB candidate #n at a first frequency position during a first time period;
receiving, from the base station, first mapping relationship information between SSB candidate indexes and SSB indexes;
identifying an SSB #k mapped to the SSB candidate #n based on the first mapping relationship information for the first frequency position;
acquiring time synchronization with respect to the base station based on the SSB candidate #n; and
obtaining beam information for the first frequency position based on the SSB #k,
wherein each of n and k is an integer equal to or greater than 0.
