The present application discloses a UE, network node, and method for determining a transmitting manner of a downlink signal of a cell. The UE obtains first attribute indication information of a first cell, where the first cell is any cell other than a cell serving the UE, and the first attribute indication information of the first cell includes at least one of: a radio access standard supported for signal transmitting by the first cell, a frequency band supported for signal transmitting by the first cell, an PCI supported for signal transmitting by the first cell, a modulation mode supported for signal transmitting by the first cell, or an MIMO antenna mode supported for signal transmitting by the first cell; and the UE determines a transmitting manner of a downlink signal of the first cell according to the obtained first attribute indication information of the first cell.
