The present disclosure provides a method and a device in a User Equipment (UE) and a base station for multi-antenna transmission. A first node operates first downlink information. The first field of the first downlink information is used for determining a first radio resource, and the second field of the first downlink information is used for determining a second radio resource. The first radio resource is reserved for a first-type reference signal, and the second radio resource is reserved for a second-type reference signal. A target receiver of the first-type reference signal comprises the first node, a transmitter of the second-type reference signal is the first node. A measurement on the first-type reference signal is used for generating the second-type reference signal. The first node is a UE and the operating action is receiving; or the first node is a base station and the operating action is transmitting.
