Abstract: Disclosed is a method for transmitting a CoMP reference signal for accurate channel estimation. The CoMP reference signal to be transmitted to a terminal which performs a CoMP operation in a multi-cell environment is a cell-specific reference signal or a CoMP-zone-specific reference signal. A method for transmitting the cell-specific reference signal uses an ID of a CoMP set constituted by cells that perform a CoMP operation, or does not apply a frequency shift value while using the ID of a relevant cell, or uses an ID of a serving cell or a frequency shift value of the serving cell. The cell-specific reference signal is transmitted using a preset specific resource region. A method for transmitting the CoMP-zone-specific reference signal is configured such that the pattern of the sequence of CoMP reference signals varies in each of the CoMP zones, and the pattern can be set in advance.
