Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A method for transmitting a Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS) by a base station, the method comprising:
generating a signaling information including a first information indicating a number of CSI- RS antenna ports and a second information indicating location of a CSI-RS resource, the location of the CSI-RS resource being represented by time and frequency location in a slot, 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);
transmitting the signaling information to a User Equipment (UE);
generating a reference sequence for the CSI-RS, the reference sequence including a pseudo random sequence;
mapping the reference sequence on the CSI-RS resource; and
transmitting, to the UE, the CSI-RS including the mapped reference sequence through the CSI-RS resource.
