A method for receiving, by a base station, channel state information (CSI) in a wireless communication system. The method includes receiving, from a user equipment (UE), UE capability information related to at least one of channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) resources or CSI-RS ports; transmitting, to the UE, CSI-RS configuration information that includes information based on the UE capability information; transmitting, to the UE, a CSI-RS using at least one CSI-RS port based on the CSI-RS configuration information; and receiving, from the UE, the CSI, wherein the CSI is based on a measurement, for the CSI-RS, performed by the UE. Further, the UE capability information includes information for i) a maximum number of the CSI-RS resources and ii) a maximum number of the CSI-RS ports related to number of the CSI-RS resources configured based on the maximum number of the CSI-RS resources.
