Abstract: Disclosed are an apparatus for Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS) allocation and a method for CSI-RS transmission using the same in a wireless communication system. A CSI-RS for each antenna port is allocated to REs or subcarriers on a basis of a symbol or symbol axis in a subframe or Resource Block (RB), and is allocated in such a manner that a distance between neighboring CSI-RS allocation REs or subcarriers may be 3 REs or subcarriers. Accordingly, in the range of following CSI-RS transmission overhead, CSI-RSs are allocated to a time-frequency resource domain in such a manner so as to have perfect orthogonality or quasi-orthogonality according to cells or cell groups. Then, the CSI-RSs, which have been allocated to the time-frequency resource domain, are transmitted.

Abstract: The teachings herein provide a number of advantages, including but not limited to improving soft-cell operation in service scenarios involving legacy devices that do not directly support carrier aggregation—i.e., devices that can transmit or receive in only one frequency band at a time. By imposing a Time Division Duplex (TDD) arrangement across two carriers operating in different frequency bands, scheduled transmissions involving the legacy device are mutually exclusive as between the two carriers. Advantageously, the TDD arrangement is imposed across first and second carriers used in the macro- and low-power layers of a soft-cell, thus imposing TDD-based coordination of scheduled transmissions between those carriers irrespective of whether the individual carriers are configured as Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) or TDD carriers, or a mix thereof.
