Methods and apparatuses are provided for communicating with a terminal of a base station in a mobile communication system. Configuration information on a plurality of antenna ports of reference signals (RSs) which comprise first type antenna ports and second type antenna ports, is transmitted. Status information for at least one antenna port of an RS among the plurality of antenna ports of the RSs, is received. At least one indicator indicating at least one selected antenna port of an RS is transmitted based on the status information. The terminal is communicated with using the at least one selected antenna port of the RS. The first type antenna ports are for a centralized antenna and the second type antenna ports are for a distributed antenna.
