## Abstract

An antenna panel determination method, a user terminal and a computer readable storage medium. The method comprises: reporting measurement information to a base station, the measurement information comprising downlink measurement results corresponding to N antenna panels, wherein N is the total number of configured antenna panels, and N≥2; receiving instruction information issued by the base station, the indication information being obtained by the base station according to the measurement information and an uplink measurement result; obtaining, from within the instruction information, an antenna panel that is used for transmission and indicated by the base station; and using the antenna panel that is used for transmission to perform transmission. The solution above may reduce the power consumption of the user terminal.
