Abstract

The disclosure provides a method and a device in a User Equipment (UE) and a base station for multi-antenna transmission. The UE transmits a first radio signal in a first time interval, and receives a second radio signal in a second time interval; and then monitors a third radio signal in a third time interval. The first radio signal includes first information, and the second radio signal includes second information. Target information is used for receiving the third radio signal. A time-domain position of the second time interval is used for determining whether the target information is the first information or the second information. A time-domain position of the third time interval is associated to a time-domain position of the first time interval. The UE can select a beam direction corresponding to a downlink channel according to its measurement, thereby improving efficiency and performances of downlink transmission.

Claims (13)
