1. A method for measuring, by a user equipment, interference in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- receiving, by the user equipment, interference measurement resource information for a serving cell, the interference measurement resource information indicating radio resources for interference measurement; and
performing the interference measurement using the indicated radio resources,wherein the indicated radio resources are muted radio resources in which a group of antenna ports associated with the serving cell transmits one or more signals including a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) at zero transmission power to the user equipment, andwherein the indicated radio resources are configured with at least one of a plurality of predefined CSI-RS resource patterns for the CSI-RS transmission.
