Abstract

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a terminal receives, from a base station, a discovery signal configuration comprising a first CSI-RS configuration, and takes RRM measurements of the discovery signal on based on the discovery signal configuration, wherein if the discovery signal corresponds to a first CSI-RS received on based on the first CSI-RS configuration, and if a first cell ID included in the first CSI-RS configuration corresponds to a cell-specific reference signal, the first CSI-RS and cell-specific reference signal are assumed to be quasi co-located (QCL), and at least one from among the characteristics of the wireless channel, assumed to be QCL between the first CSI-RS for making RRM measurements and the cell-specific reference signal, is different from the characteristics of the wireless channel assumed to be QCL between a second CSI-RS for CSI measurements and the cell-specific reference signal.
