The present disclosure relates to a pre-5th-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates Beyond 4th-Generation (4G) communication system such as Long Term Evolution (LTE). The present disclosure relates to a pre-5th-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates Beyond 4th-Generation (4G) communication system such as Long Term Evolution (LTE). Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for transmitting signals. The method includes: determining, by a communication node, that resources of a DRS and resources of other types of reference signals are overlapped; and selecting, by the communication node, at least one type of signal from the DRS and the other types of reference signals according to a predefined mode and transmitting the selected signal. Embodiments of the present disclosure may further disclose a corresponding method and device for receiving signals, a method and device for determining transmission power of the reference signals and a method for transmitting the DRS in a DL transmission burst including the data. With embodiments of the present disclosure, the confusion of the measurement of the DRS and the measurement of other types of reference signals may be solved.
