The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for transmitting data. In the method for transmitting data, a first transmission point can determine a reference signal sequence r(m) and transmit the determined reference signal sequence r(m) to a terminal. A parameter ns from among parameters for generating an initial value c_init of a pseudorandom sequence in order to determine the reference signal sequence can be determined on the basis of the slot number of a wireless frame, which a second transmission point transmits to the terminal. Accordingly, the demodulation performance of the terminal can be enhanced.
