Communication method using multiple transmission points, and apparatus for same

A user equipment configured to transmit channel quality information in a wireless communication system that supports Coordinated Multiple Point (CoMP) transmission and reception, the user equipment comprising:

• a radio frequency (RF) unit;
• and
• a processor coupled to the RF unit,
• wherein the processor is configured to:
• receive information on a plurality of transmission nodes capable of performing CoMP transmission and reception,
• transmit first channel state information according to one or more preferred transmission nodes among the plurality of transmission nodes,
• receive pattern information configured by a plurality of CoMP set combinations, each of which corresponds to a relevant time interval in accordance with the pattern information, and
• perform an operation for transmitting second channel state information according to a CoMP set combination corresponding to a subframe n,
• wherein the second channel state information is transmitted when the CoMP set combination corresponding to the subframe n is overlapped with the one or more preferred transmission nodes, and the second channel state information is dropped when the CoMP set combination corresponding to the subframe n is not overlapped with the one or more preferred transmission nodes.
