Claim:
1. A method for instructing channel state information (CSI) feedback signaling configuration, comprising: a base station notifying a terminal, via the first higher layer signaling of a UE-Specific search space, a plurality of CSI reference signal (CSI-RS) resources for measuring CSI, wherein the higher layer is a layer higher than physical layer in an open system interconnection (OSI) layer model and wherein the CSI-RS resources comprises at least one of: corresponding time frequency positions of the CSI-RS resources in a respective subframe, aerial port number configuration of the CSI-RS resources, a period and a subframe offset of the CSI-RS resources, a sequence identifier of the CSI-RS resources, and power control information of the CSI-RS resources; and the base station instructing the terminal to feed back the CSI corresponding to the CSI-RS resources; wherein the step of the base station instructing the terminal to feed back the CSI corresponding to the CSI-RS resources comprises: the base station dynamically instructing, through a physical layer dynamic signaling, the terminal to select and feedback corresponding CSI via feedback triggering signaling bits in DCI Format 0 or DCI format 4 or a random access response or uplink scheduling grant signaling, and via a resource position where DCI Format 0 or DCI format 4 or a random access response or uplink scheduling grant signaling which belongs to the terminal and is blindly detected by the terminal side is located; wherein the feedback triggering signaling bits in DCI Format 0 or DCI format 4 or a random access response or uplink scheduling grant signaling are 2 bits or 1 bit, in the case of 2 bits, where 00 represents no CSI of any CSI-RS resource is triggered, and 01-11 respectively represent triggering CSI of two different aggregation modes of the CSI-RS resources and interference assumptions of the CSI-RS resources; wherein the resource position where DCI Format 0 or DCI format 4 or a random access response or uplink scheduling grant signaling is located comprises at least one of: (i) a first combination and a second combination of a starting position of a corresponding CCE, a corresponding aggregation level, and a corresponding offset CCE number of the resource position with respect to an initial blind detection position, wherein each of the first combination and second combination indicates a respective different one of the two different aggregation modes and interference assumptions of the CSI-RS resources, and (ii) a corresponding system frame number, wherein the system frame number being odd indicates a different one of two different aggregation modes and interference assumptions than the system frame number being even; wherein before the step of the base station instructing the terminal side to feed back the CSI corresponding to the CSI-RS resource, the method further comprising: the base station notifying the terminal, via a second higher layer signaling of the UE-Specific search space, a candidate configuration set of CSI needing to be fed back in the multiple CSI-RS resources, wherein the candidate configuration set indicates at least two sets of CSI-RS resources for measuring CSI.
