Abstract

Provided are a method and an apparatus for receiving signal, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. The method comprises that a User Equipment (UE) receives signaling comprising configuration information of a Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS); and acquires the configuration information of the CSI-RS from the signaling.

Claims (33)
