Abstract
A method for transmitting a reference signal for supporting a plurality of antennas to a User Equipment (UE) at a Base Station (BS) in a wireless communication system is disclosed. The method includes grouping the plurality of antennas into antenna groups comprising a predetermined number of antenna ports, transmitting resource information about a reference signal for at least one antenna group of the antenna groups, and transmitting the reference signal for the at least one antenna group to the UE based on the resource information.
