Abstract

A method, provided by the present disclosure, of transmitting a reference signal by a base station in a wireless communication system using a plurality of antenna ports including mapping wireless resources, for transmitting a reference signal, to a plurality of antenna ports for transmitting the reference signal; and using the wireless resources and transmitting the reference signal to a terminal through the mapped antenna ports. The mapping to the antenna ports is executed on the basis of a combination of a first mapping pattern between the wireless resources and the antenna ports and a second mapping pattern between the wireless resources and the antenna ports.
