A method is provided for computing a channel quality indicator (CQI) value by a user equipment in a wireless communication system. The method includes configuring, through a higher layer, channel measurement resources defined by channel status information-reference signal (CSI-RS) resource element configuration with non-zero transmission power and subframe configuration, configuring, through the higher layer, interference measurement resources defined by the CSI-RS resource element configuration with zero transmission power and the subframe configuration, and computing the CQI value based on a channel measurement and an interference measurement. The channel measurement is performed by using the channel measurement resources, and the interference measurement is performed by using the interference measurement resources. If two or more channel status information (CSI) subframe sets are configured, the interference measurement for one CSI subframe set of the two or more CSI subframe sets is performed by using the interference measurement resources.
