Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method and a device in a User Equipment (UE) and a base station for wireless communication. The UE transmits first information including at least the former two of {K first-type indexes, K1 first-type indexes, K first-type numerical values}. The K1 first-type indexes are a subset of the K first-type indexes. The K first-type indexes are used for determining K antenna port groups. The UE receives simultaneously radio signals from K1 antenna port groups. The K1 first-type indexes are used for determining the K1 antenna port groups. The K first-type numerical values are used for determining K channel qualities. The K1 first-type indexes include at least one given first-type index, and a position of the given first-type index in the K first-type indexes is used for determining whether an antenna port group corresponding to the given first-type index belongs to the K1 antenna port groups.
