Method for transmitting and receiving a comp reference signal in a multi-cell environment

Abstract

Disclosed is a channel estimation method using a cooperative multi-point (CoMP) reference signal in a multi-cell environment. The method comprises a CoMP reference signal receiving step of enabling a terminal to receive, from each of the cells that perform a CoMP operation, a CoMP reference signal where an orthogonal code is applied to each of the cells; a channel estimation step of enabling the terminal to estimate, using said CoMP reference signal, channels of each of the cells which perform said CoMP operation; and a channel status feedback information transmitting step of enabling the terminal to transmit channel status feedback information to each of the cells.
