    Abstract: A reference signal sending/receiving method, a terminal device, and a network device are provided. The terminal device determines transmit power of a reference signal of the terminal device, where the transmit power is related to a quantity of unavailable time-frequency resources in a transmission unit in which the reference signal is located; and transmits the reference signal based on the transmit power. After receiving the reference signal from the terminal device, the network device parses the reference signal based on the transmit power. The terminal device relates the transmit power of the reference signal of the terminal device to the quantity of unavailable time-frequency resources in the transmission unit in which the reference signal is located, thereby improving the transmit power of the reference signal of the terminal device in uplink MU-MIMO, and improving communication performance of the terminal device with a low signal-to-noise ratio.

    Abstract: This application provides a reference signal sending method, a reference signal receiving method, a network device, and a terminal device, to perform CSI (Channel State Information) measurement by using more precoding vectors (or precoding matrices), to measure more equivalent channels, thereby improving flexibility and a spatial degree of freedom of network device scheduling. The method includes: performing, by the network device, precoder cycling on a first reference signal by using at least two precoding vectors, to obtain a precoded first reference signal, where the precoded first reference signal is borne in a plurality of physical resource groups, and signals borne in any two adjacent physical resource groups correspond to different precoding vectors; and sending, by the network device, the precoded first reference signal to the terminal device by using the plurality of physical resource groups, where the first reference signal is used by the terminal device to perform CSI measurement.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present application provide a channel state information feedback method, device, and system. The method includes: generating an uplink signal, where the uplink signal carries information for identifying multiple codewords and weights of the codewords; and transmitting the uplink signal to a base station (BS), so that the base station estimates a downlink channel based on the multiple codewords and weight information of the codewords in the uplink signal. In the embodiments of the present application, a user equipment UE side reports multiple codewords and weight information of the multiple codewords. This can resolve a problem in the prior art that precision of downlink channel estimation performed by a BS side is relatively low because only a single codeword is reported, and can effectively enhance precision indicated by channel information, without increasing complexity of a codebook design and implementation.
