Claim Text:
1. A pilot measurement method, comprising: determining, by a receiving end, a port configuration for pilot measurement; and receiving, by the receiving end, a pilot signal using the port configuration, and obtaining channel information upon an estimate, wherein after determining, by the receiving end, the port configuration for pilot measurement, the method further comprises: receiving, by the receiving end, corresponding time-domain configuration information and/or frequency-domain configuration information from a transmitting end after the transmitting end determines a time-domain configuration and/or a frequency-domain configuration corresponding to the port configuration, wherein the time-domain configuration is that a specified port configuration is applied to a specified subframe or radio frame or Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol; the frequency-domain configuration is that a specified port configuration is applied to a specified bandwidth or sub-band or Resource Block Group (RBG) or Resource Block (RB), wherein when there are totally N rows and N columns of ports (N is an integer not smaller than 1), the port configuration comprises N port configurations, wherein a nth port configuration is that ports in a nth row and ports in a nth column are configured to transmit or receive the pilot signal, and n is an integer not greater than N and not smaller than 1; and the time-domain configuration is that the N port configurations are applied to N specified subframes or radio frames or OFDM symbols, one port configuration is applied to one subframe or radio frame or OFDM symbol, and a same port configuration or different port configurations is or are applied to different subframes or radio frames or OFDM symbols.
