Abstract
The present invention provides a method for determining a rank indication (RI) bit number, a base station, and a terminal. The method includes: determining, by a base station, indication information according to a correspondence between a terminal and the base station and a multi-input multi-output (MIMO) capability of the terminal, where the indication information includes information used by the terminal for determining a bit number occupied for sending a RI; and sending, by the base station, the indication information to the terminal, so that the terminal determines, according to the indication information, the bit number occupied for sending the RI. In the present invention, the UE and the base station agree or understanding of the bit number occupied by RI information.
