Provided are a method and device for signaling configuration, sending or reception, the method for signaling configuration comprises includes: a base station configures the signaling describing the subframe bearing the Synchronization Track Reference Signals (STRS) for a carrier, and the base station does not send the STRS and/or the PSS/SSS in the carrier when the signaling configured is null, while the base station sends the PSS/SSS in the carrier in a predetermined manner and sends the STRS in the carrier according to the signaling configuration information when the signaling configured is not null; the base station sends the signaling to a User Equipment (UE); the UE receives the signaling sent by the base station, analyzes the signaling, and judges the PSS/SSS is not sent in the carrier when the signaling is null, or judges the PSS/SSS is sent in the carrier when the signaling is not null.
