Abstract:
1. A method for transmitting a signal to a User Equipment (UE) by a Base Station (BS) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: determining a signal transmission scheme for transmitting a signal to the UE; dividing a basic resource allocation unit, if the signal transmission scheme is Coordinated Multi-Point (CoMP) transmission; allocating transmission resources to the UE using the divided basic resource allocation unit; and transmitting the signal to the UE through the allocated transmission resources, wherein a size of the allocated transmission is determined according to a MCS (Modulation and Coding Scheme) disparity between a basic MCS and a COMP MCS, and wherein when the size of the allocated transmission resource is a segment of a resource block, the remaining segments of the resource block are allocated to other UEs for CoMP transmission.
