Abstract:
1. A method for indicating a pilot state, comprising: acquiring, by a radio network controller (RNC), state information of a scheduled non-precoded pilot, wherein the state information of the scheduled non-precoded pilot indicates an activated state or a deactivated state of the scheduled non-precoded pilot; and sending, by the RNC, first 4Tx multi-input multi-output (MIMO) mode configuration signaling to a user equipment (UE), wherein the first 4Tx MIMO mode configuration signaling carries the state information of the scheduled non-precoded pilot, wherein the UE acquires a state of the scheduled non-precoded pilot according to the state information of the scheduled non-precoded pilot when being configured to 4Tx MIMO mode; wherein the RNC is a serving radio network controller (SRNC), and the acquiring, by the RNC the state information of the scheduled non-precoded pilot comprises:
