A method of acquiring Channel State Information (CSI) in a wireless communication system includes transmitting, from a Base Station (BS) to a User Equipment (UE), a resource setting including time-domain behavior of CSI-Reference Signals (RSs) transmission that designates aperiodic, periodic, or semi-persistent; and transmitting, from the BS to the UE, the CSI-RSs based on the designated aperiodic, periodic, or semi-persistent. The resource setting includes precoding information that indicates whether precoders applied to the CSI-RSs is the same or different. The resource setting includes periodicity and a timing offset value of the CSI-RS transmission when the periodic or the semi-persistent is designated. The resource setting includes frequency-domain information that designates a wideband or a partial band used for the CSI-RS transmission. The resource setting includes a transmission bandwidth of the CSI-RS transmission when the partial band is designated.
