The present disclosure relates 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 Long Term Evolution (LTE). A method for selecting one or more data transmission parameters for transmitting data between the base station and one or more devices includes receiving an actual Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) from a device, determining an effective CQI corresponding to the actual CQI based on the actual CQI and the age of the actual CQI, and selecting one or more data transmission parameters based on the effective CQI. A terminal transmits a first CQI value to a base station, receives a request message for requesting an updated first CQI value from the base station, if a second CQI values corresponding to the first CQI value, which is determined based on the first CQI value and time elapsed since the first CQI value is transmitted, is determined that the lowest value of a plurality of CQI value, transmits the updated first CQI value to the base station.
