Abstract: A method is provided for transmitting aperiodic channel state information (CSI). A base station (BS) transmits, to a user equipment (UE), receiving a downlink control information (DCI) which includes a CSI request field; and performing aperiodic CSI reporting using a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) when a value of the CSI request field triggers an aperiodic CSI report. In addition, when the CSI request field is a multi-bit field, the CSI request field has a value among a first value which triggers an aperiodic CSI report for a first reference signal and a second value which triggers an aperiodic CSI report for a second reference signal. Furthermore, a resource of the first reference signal and a resource of the second reference signal are configured by a higher layer signal.

Abstract: A method for reducing inter-cell interference and a method for transmitting a signal by a collaborative MIMO scheme, in a communication system having a multi-cell environment are disclosed. An example of a method for transmitting, by a mobile station, precoding information in a collaborative MIMO communication system includes determining a precoding matrix set including precoding matrices of one more base stations including a serving base station, based on signal strength of the serving base station, and transmitting information about the precoding matrix set to the serving base station. A mobile station in an edge of a cell performs a collaborative MIMO mode or inter-cell interference mitigation mode using the information about the precoding matrix set collaboratively with neighboring base stations.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a wireless communication system, and discloses a method and apparatus for acquiring antenna information. According to the present invention, a method in which user equipment acquires information of a transmission antenna of an eNB comprises the steps of: receiving a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) including information which indicates whether or not the eNB supports an extended transmission antenna configuration; decoding the received physical broadcast channel, and checking the transmission modes of the physical broadcast channel; and acquiring information of the transmission antenna of the eNB from one or more of the transmission modes checked in the previous step and information which indicates whether or not the eNB supports an extended transmission antenna configuration.
