Method and apparatus for sending/receiving drs

Disclosed are a method and apparatus for sending/receiving a DRS, which relate to the technical field of information and can flexibly apply a DRS to different fields. The method comprises: first determining, by a base station, a parameter set of DRSs, and sending the DRSs to a UE according to the parameter set of the DRSs; and then determining, by the UE, the parameter set of the DRSs, and receiving the DRSs sent by the base station according to the parameter set of the DRSs. The embodiments of the present invention are applicable to transmitting a DRS to a UE in the coverage range of a cell.
