Abstract:
Disclosed are an apparatus and method for processing downlink control information, applicable to a base station and comprising a downlink control information generation module and a downlink control information transmission module, wherein, the downlink control information generation module is configured to generate a downlink control information format when data transmission is performed, wherein a field of the downlink control information format carries indication information for indicating to a terminal a port used for transmitting a data DMRS and a scrambling identity number corresponding to a pilot generation sequence; and the downlink control information transmission module is configured to transmit the downlink control information format to the terminal By indicating to a terminal a port used for transmitting a data DMRS and a scrambling identity number corresponding to a pilot generation sequence, the embodiments of the present invention solve the problem of interference between DMRSs used during multi-user data transmission.
