Abstract

Disclosed are a method and device for signal detection. The method comprises: a terminal receives system configuration information of a second transmission point sent by a first transmission point; the terminal performs downlink signal detection on the second transmission point according to the system configuration information of the second transmission point. The terminal in embodiments of the present invention can obtain the system configuration information of the second transmission point from the first transmission point, thereby reducing the complexity of signal detection on the second transmission point by the terminal.
