Claim 4:
5. A method for reporting channel state information by a user equipment, the method comprising:
receiving, from a base station, a signaling information including a first information indicating a number of Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS) antenna ports and a second information indicating location of a CSI-RS resource, the second information indicating frequency domain allocation in a resource block, wherein the first information and the second information are jointly encoded into a bit map and the bit map simultaneously indicates the first information and the second information, wherein the location of the CSI-RS resource is determined based on a bit position of a bit in the bit map that have a value of one (1);
receiving, from the base station, a CSI-RS through the CSI-RS resource;
generating channel state information using the CSI-RS received on the CSI-RS resource; and
reporting the channel state information to the base station.
