Provided are a method and apparatus for sending a channel state, a method and apparatus for receiving a channel state and a storage medium. The method for sending a channel state includes following steps: a channel state report for characterizing a channel state comprising a precoding matrix is determined; and the channel state report for characterizing the channel state comprising the precoding matrix is sent, where the channel state report includes: a number of reported coefficients in coefficient matrixes for the precoding matrix and the reported coefficients in the coefficient matrixes for the precoding matrix; where the reported coefficients in the coefficient matrixes for the precoding matrix are used for indicating the precoding matrix.
