    Abstract: The embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of wireless communications, and more particularly, to a method and apparatus for determining three-dimensional beam pre-coding information so as to perform three-dimensional beam forming. In the embodiments of the present invention, a network device first determines a first optimal beam forming vector, and then determines a second optimal beam forming vector from a second beam forming vector set corresponding to the first optimal beam forming vector and performs channel measurement via a formed pilot to determine optimal pre-coding information about a second dimension. Since an optimal beam forming vector therein is determined based on a beam forming vector set with a coarse particle granularity, and then an optimal beam forming vector therein is determined based on a corresponding beam forming vector set with a fine particle granularity, the purpose of determining the optimal beam forming vector with fine particle granularity and the optimal pre-coding information is achieved, which, compared with the prior art, reduces system resource expense, and further reduces the complexity of a user equipment.
