The invention discloses a method and a device for receiving CSI (Channel State Information), and a method and a device for reporting the CSI, so as to reduce PUCCH (Physical Uplink Control Channel) resources occupied by the multi-carrier CSI under CA (Carrier Aggregation). The method of receiving the CSI comprises steps: as for each piece of UE, time-frequency resources for receiving the CSI on the PUCCH of a primary carrier are determined, wherein as for the same UE, in each receiving period, the time-frequency resources for receiving the CSI are the same, and as for different UE, in each receiving period, the time-frequency resources for receiving the CSI are different; and as for each piece of UE, in each receiving period, the time-frequency resources for receiving the CSI on the PUCCH receive the CSI of a member carrier reported by the UE, wherein the CSI reported by the UE received in at least two adjacent receiving periods is CSI of different member carriers.
