Abstract

An operation method of a communication node supporting a coordinated multi-point transmission and reception (CoMP) of a terminal based on a plurality of transmission points (TPs) included in a communication network may comprise allocating a resource for transmitting a pilot signal of the terminal; receiving quality measurement information of the pilot signal of the terminal from the plurality of TPs; determining a TP cluster supporting the CoMP of the terminal based on channel states among the plurality of TPs; transmitting information on the allocated resource and information on the TP cluster to the terminal and the TP cluster; and supporting the CoMP of the terminal based on the allocated resource and the TP cluster.
