## Abstract

A method of configuring a measurement for a mobile terminal configured with a plurality of component carriers in a wireless communication system is discussed. The method is performed by a base station and includes transmitting, by the base station, configuration information to the mobile terminal. Further, when the transmitted configuration information includes an indication information for the measurement in an extension component carrier among the plurality of component carriers, the measurement in the extension component carrier is based on a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), and when the transmitted configuration information does not include the indication information for the measurement in the extension component carrier among the plurality of component carriers, the measurement in the extension component carrier is based on a cell specific reference signal (CRS).

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method of configuring a measurement for a mobile terminal configured with a plurality of component carriers in a wireless communication system, the method performed by a base station and comprising:
transmitting, by the base station, configuration information to the mobile terminal; and
wherein when the transmitted configuration information includes an indication information for the measurement in an extension component carrier among the plurality of component carriers, the measurement in the extension component carrier is based on a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), and
wherein when the transmitted configuration information does not include the indication information for the measurement in the extension component carrier among the plurality of component carriers, the measurement in the extension component carrier is based on a cell specific reference signal (CRS).

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the configuration information is transmitted once or periodically through a radio resource control (RRC) signaling.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising:
transmitting, by the base station, the CSI-RS and the CRS to the mobile terminal.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The method of claim 3, wherein at least one of the CRS or the CSI-RS has a reduced reference signal density.

### Claim 5 (depends on 3)

The method of claim 3, wherein the CRS has a reduced reference signal density for at least one of first and second antennas.

### Claim 6 (depends on 3)

The method of claim 3, wherein the CRS is transmitted on either a first slot or a second slot in a subframe.

### Claim 7

A base station configuring a measurement for a mobile terminal configured with a plurality of component carriers in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:
a radio-frequency (RF) module;
a processor; and
a memory operably connectable to the processor and storing instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
transmitting configuration information to the mobile terminal; and
wherein when the transmitted configuration information includes an indication information for the measurement in an extension component carrier among the plurality of component carriers, the measurement in the extension component carrier is based on based on a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), and
wherein when the transmitted configuration information does not include the indication information for the measurement in the extension component carrier among the plurality of component carriers, the measurement in the extension component carrier is based on a cell specific reference signal (CRS).

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The base station of claim 7, wherein the configuration information is transmitted once or periodically through a radio resource control (RRC) signaling.

### Claim 9 (depends on 7)
