A method for receiving a reference signal including receiving a configuration about a subband from the base station through a higher layer signaling, wherein the RS is allocated to the subband; and receiving a subframe including a reference signal resource allocated by a unit of the subband, and an apparatus are provided.

Method and apparatus for receiving reference signal

A method for a base station to configure a channel state information (CSI)-reference signal (RS) is provided. The base station configures a CSI-RS antenna port for a terminal. The base station selects one of at least one port number mapping rule for mapping a port number on the CSI-RS antenna port for the terminal. The base station notifies the terminal of the selected port number mapping rule.

Disclosed is method for controlling interference in a wireless system having multiple sending and receiving nodes. In the method for controlling interference in a wireless system having multiple sending and receiving nodes, a plurality of receiving nodes share each other's channel information, each of the receiving nodes uses the shared channel information to calculate a precoding matrix which is fed back to the sending nodes, and each of the sending nodes uses each of the precoding matrices received as feedback to transmit a send signal to the receiving nodes, thereby controlling interference. Complete interference alignment can be achieved even by just sharing channel information between receiving nodes, and the invention can be employed not only for inter-cell interference but also for intra-cell interference environments.
