Abstract

The present invention discloses a method for determining an uplink demodulation reference signal (DMRS), which includes: taking one of multiple transmit antennas in the uplink as a base transmit antenna, taking other transmit antennas as subordinating transmit antennas and setting a DMRS for the base transmit antenna; establishing DMRS subordinating relationships between the base transmit antenna and each of the subordinating transmit antennas; and setting a DMRS for each of the subordinating transmit antennas according to the DMRS of the base transmit antenna and the DMRS subordinating relationship between the base transmit antenna and each of the subordinating transmit antennas. The present invention also provides a user equipment (UE) and an uplink system for providing DMRSs for multiple transmit antennas. The method, UE and system are applicable in both SU-MIMO transmission and MU-MIMO transmission.
