Abstract

The present invention provides a large-scale MIMO communication method and device in a base station and a UE. In one embodiment, a base station transmits first signaling firstly, wherein the first signaling indicates the configuration information of a first RS, and the first RS includes M RS ports; and then receives second signaling, wherein the second signaling indicates M1 RS ports in the first RS, M is a positive integer greater than 1, M1 is a positive integer smaller than or equal to M, and transmitting cells of the first RS are cells other than transmitting cells of the first signaling. The present invention effectively reduces interference with neighboring cells during Massive MIMO transmission, and solves the problem of SRS contamination. Meanwhile, the present invention is compatible with the existing LTE system as much as possible and has good compatibility.
