CSI-RS configuration and CSI feedback method and apparatus, base station and user equipment
Disclosed are a CSI-RS configuration and CSI feedback method and apparatus, and a relevant device, which are used for implementing 16-port CSI-RS configuration and performing CSI feedback based on a 16-port CSI-RS. The CSI-RS configuration method comprises: determining 16-port channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) configuration information configured to a user equipment (UE), wherein the CSI-RS configuration information comprises information about a resource element (RE) occupied by a 16-port CSI-RS configured to the UE, and the RE occupied by the 16-port CSI-RS comprises an RE other than REs occupied by a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), a cell-dedicated reference signal (RS) and a UE-dedicated RS; and sending, to the UE, the 16-port CSI-RS configuration information configured to the UE.
1. A method for configuring a Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS), the method comprising:

sending, to the UE, the configuration information of the 16-port CSI-RS configured for the UE;
wherein the REs occupied by the CSI-RS are predetermined REs occupied by a CSI-RS; and the REs occupied by the 16-port CSI-RS configured for the UE are a combination of REs occupied by any two 8-port CSI-RSs;
wherein determining the information of the REs occupied by the 16-port CSI-RS configured for the UE comprises:
determining the information of the REs occupied by the 16-port CSI-RS to be (p,q), wherein P is Channel State Information (CSI) reference configuration information corresponding to the REs occupied by a first 8-port CSI-RS in the REs occupied by the 16-port CSI-RS, and p=0,1,2,3,4 and q is CSI reference configuration information corresponding to the REs occupied by a second 8-port CSI-RS in the REs occupied by the 16-port CSI-RS, and q=0,1,2,3,4.
2. A device for configuring a Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS), the device comprising a processor and one or more units stored on a memory and executable by the processor, the one or more units comprises:
