Abstract

A method and an apparatus for configuring reference signal resource. The method includes: a terminal equipment receives a first resource configuration, the first resource configuration at least including a first parameter, the first parameter being used for configuring a first reference signal resource with M ports; the terminal equipment receives a second resource configuration and/or a channel state information report configuration; wherein the first resource configuration or the second resource configuration or the channel state information report configuration is at least further used for the terminal equipment to determine a second reference signal resource with N ports; where, N is less than M.
