A pilot measurement method, comprising: a) determining, by a receiving end, a port configuration for pilot measurement; b) receiving, by the receiving end, a pilot signal using the port configuration, and obtaining channel information upon an estimate, characterized in that, 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; and wherein 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, respectively; wherein when there are totally N rows and N columns of ports, the port configuration comprises N port configurations, an nth port configuration being that ports in a nth row and ports in a nth column are configured to transmit or receive the pilot signal, N is an integer not smaller than 1, and n being 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, radio frames or OFDM symbols respectively, one port configuration is applied to one subframe, radio frame or OFDM symbol respectively, and a same port configuration or different port configurations is or are applied to different subframes or radio frames or OFDM symbols respectively. a) determining, by a receiving end, a port configuration for pilot measurement; b) receiving, by the receiving end, a pilot signal using the port configuration, and obtaining channel information upon an estimate, 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; and wherein 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, respectively; wherein when there are totally N rows and N columns of ports, the port configuration comprises N port configurations, an nth port configuration being that ports in a nth row and ports in a nth column are configured to transmit or receive the pilot signal, N is an integer not smaller than 1, and n being 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, radio frames or OFDM symbols respectively, one port configuration is applied to one subframe, radio frame or OFDM symbol respectively, and a same port configuration or different port configurations is or are applied to different subframes or radio frames or OFDM symbols respectively.
