The method for receiving a downlink signal in a wireless communication system, according to one embodiment of the present invention, comprises: receiving, from a base station, a candidate seed list and downlink control information for the generation of a sequence of a downlink demodulation reference signal, wherein a seed value is selected from the candidate seed list on the basis of seed value indicating information contained in the downlink control information and the sequence of the downlink demodulation reference signal is generated by using the selected seed value. The candidate seed list may include a plurality of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process identifiers and virtual cell identifiers related to the plurality of HARQ process identifiers.
