Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method and device for multi-antenna transmission in UE and base station. The user equipment receives a first wireless signal at first; then transmits a second wireless signal, and monitors a first signaling in a first sub-time resource pool. Wherein the first wireless signal is transmitted by K antenna port group(s) and the second wireless signal is used to determine the first antenna port group. The first antenna port group is one of the K antenna port group(s). The first sub-time resource pool is reserved to the first antenna port group, or the index of the first antenna port group is used to determine the first sub-time resource pool. One antenna port group includes positive integer number of antenna ports, and the K is a positive integer greater than 1. The disclosure reduces the complexity of blind detection of downlink signaling by the UE.
