Abstract

A method and apparatus for downlink control information (DCI) design for network coordination (coordinated multi-point transmission (CoMP)) are provided. In addition, a method and apparatus for configuration of demodulation reference signal (DMRS) and transmission and reception of DMRS, and a method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving uplink signal according to uplink transmission scheme are provided. The disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-generation (4G) system with a technology for internet of things (IoT). The disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services.
