The invention discloses a method and a device for realizing channel measurement. The method comprises the following steps: confirming a to-be-measured antenna port subset for UE (user equipment) according to the current status information of UE, and informing the UE of performing channel measurement and feeding back the status information aiming at the to-be-measured antenna port subset. According to the invention, when the status information of the UE meets the conditions, the overhead cost for feeding back the channel status information by the UE can be lowered by only measuring a reference signal of partial antenna port and feeding back the channel status information of the partial antenna port.

A method and an apparatus for implementing channel measurement are disclosed in the present invention. The method includes: determining an antenna port subset, which is required to be measured, for a UE according to current state information of the user equipment UE; and informing the UE to perform channel measurement for the subset of antenna ports that is required to be measured and feed back channel state information. Through the present invention, when the state information of the UE meets a certain condition, the UE measures only the reference signals of a part of antenna ports, and feeds back channel state information for this part of antenna ports. Therefore, the overhead generated by the feedback of the UE to the channel state information is reduced.
