Disclosed are a method and device for transmitting a channel state information-reference signal, a processor and a storage medium. The method includes: determining, by a base station, channel state information-reference signal, where the channel state information-reference signal at least includes the number of CSI-RS ports and information of components, the CSI-RS ports are used for transmitting the CSI-RS, and a CSI-RS resource is used for carrying the CSI-RS; sending, by the base station, the information of the CSI-RS to a terminal; and transmitting, by the base station, the CSI-RS. In such a way, the technical problems in the related art of poor channel measurement performance and high system complexity are solved.
