Abstract
The present invention relates to wireless communication, and more specifically, to a method and device whereby a base station allocates nodes to a terminal in a semi-static fashion in a multi-node system. The method, according to one aspect of the present invention, whereby a base station allocates at least a portion of a plurality of nodes to a terminal in a multi-node system comprising the plurality of nodes and the base station for controlling the plurality of nodes, comprises the steps of: receiving, from the terminal, data showing at least one first node that is preferred among the plurality of nodes by the terminal; and transmitting, to the terminal, first data for allocating the first node(s) to the terminal. The first data may comprise pilot data which is required by the terminal in order to transmit, to the base station, feedback data concerning the first node.
