Method and apparatus for data communication through a coordinated multi-point transmission

The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for data communication through a Coordinated Multi-Point Transmission in a multiple cell environment. According to the present invention, the data communication method through a coordinated multi-point transmission in a multiple cell environment including a serving base station and a cooperative base station for performing a coordinated multi-point transmission comprises the steps of: receiving data from the serving base station and the cooperative base station through a downlink channel; and demodulating the received data. Each datum transmitted from the serving base station and the cooperative base station includes a predetermined Reference Signal and a data Resource Element, and a Transmit Diversity is applied to the data resource elements of both the serving base station and the cooperative base station through Pairing.
