Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of communication technology, specifically to a capability reporting method, a receiving method, an apparatus, a device, and a readable storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, standards define frequency bands as a range of frequencies, each corresponding to a duplex mode. Current duplex modes include Time Division Multiplexing (TDD), Frequency Division Duplex (FDD), Supplementary Uplink (SUL), and Supplementary Downlink (SDL). When a terminal reports its capabilities, it reports the supported frequency bands. The network then obtains this frequency band information to determine the supported frequency range and duplex mode (i.e., uplink and downlink information).

[0003] To utilize frequency resources more flexibly, and considering full-duplex technology, a future trend in frequency resource usage is to eliminate duplex mode distinctions, allowing each frequency segment to be configured for uplink or downlink based on network requirements. This necessitates more flexible terminal reporting capabilities and network configurations to support flexible frequency resource utilization. Summary of the Invention

[0085] See Figure 3 This application provides a capability receiving method, the execution subject of which is a second communication device, and the specific steps include: step 301.

[0089] In one embodiment of this application, the method further includes:

[0090] Based on the first information, the first communication device is scheduled.

[0091] In one embodiment of this application, the highest frequency information of the first communication device includes: the highest frequency information of the first communication device for uplink transmission, or the highest frequency information of the first communication device for downlink transmission, or the highest frequency information of the first communication device for both uplink and downlink transmission.

[0094] In one embodiment of this application, the step of receiving first information from a first communication device includes:

[0095] Receive multiple sets of information from a first communication device, the sets of information including the first information.

[0096] In one embodiment of this application, the method further includes:

[0097] Send a third message to the first communication device, the third message including one or more of the following:

[0098] (1) Information of the first frequency band and the operating mode of the first frequency band;

[0099] (2) Information of the second frequency band, information of the third frequency band and information of the fourth frequency band, wherein the second frequency band is used for uplink transmission, the third frequency band is used for downlink transmission, and the fourth frequency band is used for both uplink and downlink transmission;

[0100] Wherein, the first frequency band, the second frequency band, the third frequency band and / or the fourth frequency band are the operating frequency bands supported by the second communication device, or the operating frequency bands desired by the second communication device.

[0101] In embodiments of this application, a first communication device may send first information to a second communication device. The first information includes one or more of the following: the highest frequency information of the first communication device and the first bandwidth information supported by the first communication device; the lowest frequency information of the first communication device and the second bandwidth information supported by the first communication device. In this way, the second communication device can configure each frequency resource according to network requirements for uplink transmission, downlink transmission, or both uplink and downlink transmission, thereby meeting the need for flexible frequency resource usage.

[0102] For ease of description, the first communication device represents the terminal or relay device, and the second communication device represents the network-side node. The first and second communication devices communicate via wireless communication technology (e.g., NR or 6G). See [link to documentation]. Figure 4 .

[0103] Step 1: The first communication device initiates a request (or is described as an access request) to the second communication device to access the mobile communication network.

[0104] Step 2: The second communication device provides frequency band information to the first communication device.

[0105] a) A method for providing frequency band information: This frequency band consists of several combinations of information such as "frequency band + operating uplink and downlink". The "frequency band" information is a frequency band number that is explicitly agreed upon in the protocol, such as N41.

[0106] The "work uplink / downlink" information indicates the working mode of this "frequency band".

[0107] For example, there are three options: "uplink", "downlink", and "either uplink or downlink". "Uplink" means that this frequency band is used for transmission from the first communication device to the second communication device in a wireless communication network; "downlink" means transmission from the second communication device to the first communication device; "either uplink or downlink" means that it may be from the first communication device to the second communication device, or it may be from the second communication device to the first communication device.

[0108] b) Another method for providing frequency band information: Provide up to three sets of frequency band information, each set being a combination of frequency band numbers (such as N41) explicitly agreed upon in the protocol. One set of frequency bands is the uplink band, the second set is the downlink band, and the third set is a band that can be used for both uplink and downlink.

[0109] Regardless of whether it's the first or second method of providing frequency band information, the frequency band information provided by the second communication device to the first communication device transmits the operating frequency band information and the uplink and downlink information of the operating frequency band. These operating frequency bands can be those supported by the second communication device, or they can be operating frequency bands that the second communication device is interested in.

[0110] The effect of step 2 is that the network can provide frequency band information that it is interested in (that is, frequency band information that may be configured for the terminal). In this way, the terminal in step 3 can refer to the information in step 2 and only report the frequency band information that the network is interested in.

[0111] Step 3: The first communication device provides radio frequency capability information to the second communication device.

[0112] Optionally, the radio frequency capability information includes one or more combinations of the following:

[0113] a) Information on the highest frequency at which the first communication device can operate.

[0114] One implementation is the frequency point number corresponding to the highest frequency subcarrier that the first communication device can operate on, such as the Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number (ARFCN) information for 5G. This can also include bandwidth information. For example, 5G-ARFCN information + 1000MHz indicates that the first communication device supports a frequency range of 1000MHz starting from a certain frequency point number. There can be multiple sets of information; for example, each frequency point number + bandwidth constitutes a set, representing a frequency range. Multiple sets indicate that the terminal supports multiple frequency ranges.

[0115] The highest frequency information can also be divided into uplink and downlink information, that is, which frequencies can only be used for uplink, which frequencies can only be used for downlink, and which frequencies can be used for both uplink and downlink.

[0116] b) Information on the lowest frequency at which the first communication device can operate.

[0117] One implementation is the frequency point number corresponding to the lowest frequency subcarrier that the first communication device can operate on, such as the ARFCN information for 5G. Bandwidth information can also be included. For example, 5G-ARFCN information + 1000MHz indicates that the first communication device supports a frequency range of 1000MHz above a certain frequency point number.

[0118] The minimum frequency information can be in multiple sets, for example, each frequency point number plus bandwidth forms a set, representing a frequency range. Multiple sets indicate that the terminal supports multiple frequency ranges. This information can also be divided into uplink and downlink information, i.e., which frequencies can only be used for uplink, which frequencies can only be used for downlink, and which frequencies can be used for both uplink and downlink. The maximum bandwidth that the first communication device can operate on. This information can also be divided into maximum uplink bandwidth and maximum downlink bandwidth.

[0119] c) The bandwidth of the guard band between uplink and downlink when the first communication device can simultaneously perform uplink (transmit) and downlink (receive) communication on the same frequency band.

[0120] d) a), b) and c) above can form an information set, and the first communication device can provide multiple such information sets to the second communication device.

[0121] Step 3, d), mentions multiple such information sets. This is likely due to the terminal being equipped with multiple RF chains in a practical implementation. Each RF chain corresponds to a set of RF capability information.

[0122] Step 4: After receiving the radio frequency capability information provided by the first communication device, the second communication device schedules the first communication device according to the radio frequency capability information.

[0123] For example, the highest or lowest frequency information of the first communication device, as well as its bandwidth information. After receiving this information, the second communication device can determine the frequency range that the first communication device can continuously receive. Within this continuous frequency range, the second communication device can quickly schedule the first communication device (without needing to adjust the radio frequency channel), or schedule the first communication device to receive / transmit simultaneously.

[0124] For example, when the first communication device can simultaneously perform uplink (transmit) and downlink (receive) communication on the same frequency band, the guard band bandwidth between the uplink and downlink is considered. After receiving the data, the second communication device can schedule the communication according to the capabilities of the first device. If the guard band between the uplink and downlink of the first device is greater than the bandwidth reported by the first device, performance is guaranteed; if the guard band is less than the bandwidth reported by the first device, performance will decrease.
