Abstract

Provided are a signaling sending method and device and a signaling receiving method and device. The signaling sending method includes: configuring N sets according to reference-signal-related information satisfying a predetermined channel characteristic requirement, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 1, and an element in the N sets is the reference-signal-related information; generating a first type of signaling, where the first type of signaling carries the N sets; and sending the first type of signaling to a second communication node, where the first type of signaling is used for notifying the second communication node to perform beam indication according to the N sets.

Claims (52)
