Downlink ue-specific dm-rs transmission method, ue and network-side device

The invention discloses a downlink UE-specific DM-RS transmission method, UE and a network-side device. The method comprises: according to a pre-appointment of the UE and a network side, or according to configuration information sent by the network side, determining a DM-RS resource mapping manner used by a downlink channel, the DM-RS resource mapping manner comprising a first class DM-RS resource mapping manner and a second class DM-RS resource mapping manner, the first class DM-RS resource mapping manner being a DM-RS resource mapping manner defined in a long term evolution-advanced (LTE-A) Rel-10 system, and the second class DM-RS resource mapping manner being a mapping manner having reduced DM-RS occupied resources relative to the first class DM-RS resource mapping manner; and in a transmission resource of the downlink channel, acquiring DM-RS information according to the determined DM-RS resource mapping manner. According to the present invention, the DM-RS transmission overheads can be reduced, and the throughput can be improved.
