[0036] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all of the embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative and is by no means intended to limit the present disclosure and its application or use. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0037] The present disclosure provides an information reporting method, as follows Figures 1 to 3B Give a description.

[0038] Figure 1 Flow charts of some embodiments of the disclosed method. Figure 1 As shown, the method of this embodiment is executed by the terminal and includes: steps S102 to S106.

[0039] In step S102, the terminal capability information is reported to the base station.

[0040] For a communication system configured with N (N>=3) uplink frequency bands and transmitting simultaneously in M ​​(M<=2) uplink frequency bands, the two sets of transmitters of the terminal can dynamically switch between the N frequency bands, and can perform uplink transmission in different frequency bands at different times. The terminal supports uplink switching transmission, and the frequency band pairs (Band Pairs) switched by the two sets of transmitters of the terminal can be the same or different.

[0041] In some embodiments, the terminal capability (UE Capability) information indicates whether the terminal can perform uplink transmission within the switching time difference between the first frequency band pair and the second frequency band pair when the switching time between the first frequency band pair and the second frequency band pair is different, and / or indicates whether the terminal can perform uplink transmission on another frequency band other than the two frequency bands within the first frequency band pair within the first switching time range when switching between two frequency bands within the first frequency band pair and the switching time is the first switching time.

[0042] The terminal capability information includes the capabilities of the terminal in the first case and / or the second case. For example, the first case includes: switching between two frequency bands in a first frequency band pair and the switching time is a first switching time, switching between two frequency bands in a second frequency band pair and the switching time is a second switching time, the first switching time is greater than the second switching time, and at least one frequency band in the second frequency band pair is different from both frequency bands in the first frequency band pair.

[0043] For example, the first transmitter of the terminal switches between two frequency bands in the first frequency band pair (for example, frequency bands A and B), and the first switching time is t1, and the second transmitter switches between two frequency bands in the second frequency band pair (for example, frequency bands C and D, frequency bands A and C, frequency bands D and B, etc.), and the second switching time is t2, and t1>t2. The first transmitter and the second transmitter are in the same frequency band before switching, and the frequency bands are different after switching, or the first transmitter and the second transmitter are in different frequency bands before switching, and the frequency bands are the same after switching, or the first transmitter and the second transmitter are different frequency bands before and after switching. That is, at least one frequency band in the second frequency band pair is different from both frequency bands in the first frequency band pair (for example, frequency bands A and B).

[0044] For the first case, the terminal capability information indicates whether the terminal can perform uplink transmission on at least one frequency band in the second frequency band pair within the time difference range between the first switching time and the second switching time.

[0045] For example, the second situation includes: switching between the first frequency band and the second frequency band in the first frequency band pair and the switching time is the first switching time, and maintaining the third frequency band.

[0046] For example, when the first transmitter of the terminal switches between two frequency bands (eg, frequency bands A and B) and the first switching time is t1, the second transmitter is maintained at another frequency band (eg, frequency band C).

[0047] For the second situation, the terminal capability information indicates whether uplink transmission can be performed on the third frequency band within the first switching time range.

[0048] For the above first and second situations, the terminal can uniformly report a set of capability information or report a set of capability information for the first situation and a set of capability information for the second situation (ie, report two sets of capability information, or report one of the two sets).

[0049] In some embodiments, the terminal capability information includes: first information, the first information indicating whether the terminal can perform uplink transmission within the switching time difference between the first frequency band pair and the second frequency band pair when the switching time between the first frequency band pair and the second frequency band pair is different, and indicating whether the terminal can perform uplink transmission on another frequency band other than the two frequency bands within the first frequency band pair within the first switching time range when switching between the two frequency bands within the first frequency band pair and the switching time is the first switching time.

[0050] In other embodiments, the terminal capability information includes: second information and / or third information, the second information indicates whether the terminal can perform uplink transmission within the switching time difference between the first frequency band pair and the second frequency band pair when the switching times of the first frequency band pair and the second frequency band pair are different; the third information indicates whether the terminal can perform uplink transmission on another frequency band other than the two frequency bands in the first frequency band pair within the first switching time range when switching between the two frequency bands in the first frequency band pair and the switching time is the first switching time.

[0051] For example, the reporting granularity of the terminal capability information is: for each band combination (Band combination), each band pair (ie, 2 bands), each other band in the band combination (ie, each band outside the band pair) is reported.

[0052] In some embodiments, the terminal capability information includes: in each frequency band combination, when each frequency band pair is used as the first frequency band pair, the first sub-information corresponding to each frequency band other than the first frequency band pair, wherein the first sub-information corresponding to each frequency band indicates whether the terminal can perform uplink transmission on each frequency band other than the two frequency bands in the first frequency band pair within the switching time difference between the first frequency band pair and the second frequency band pair when the switching time between the first frequency band pair and the second frequency band pair is different.

[0053] In some embodiments, the terminal capabilities include: in each frequency band combination, when each frequency band pair is used as the first frequency band pair, the second sub-information corresponding to each frequency band other than the two frequency bands within the first frequency band pair, wherein the second sub-information corresponding to each frequency band indicates whether switching between the first frequency band and the second frequency band within the first frequency band pair and the switching time is the first switching time, and whether uplink transmission can be performed on each frequency band other than the two frequency bands within the first frequency band pair within the first switching time range.

[0054] For example, for the frequency band combination A+B+C: for the A+B frequency band pair (as the first frequency band pair), report whether uplink transmission can be performed in frequency band C; for the A+C frequency band pair (as the first frequency band pair), report whether uplink transmission can be performed in frequency band B; for the B+C frequency band pair (as the first frequency band pair), report whether uplink transmission can be performed in frequency band A.

[0055] For example, for the frequency band combination A+B+C+D: for the A+B frequency band pair, whether uplink transmission can be performed in frequency bands C and D is reported separately; for the A+C frequency band pair, whether uplink transmission can be performed in frequency bands B and D is reported separately; for the A+D frequency band pair, whether uplink transmission can be performed in frequency bands B and C is reported separately; for the B+C frequency band pair, whether uplink transmission can be performed in frequency bands A and D is reported separately; for the B+D frequency band pair, whether uplink transmission can be performed in frequency bands A and C is reported separately; for the C+D frequency band pair, whether uplink transmission can be performed in frequency bands A and B is reported separately.

[0056] If a set of capability information is reported for the first situation, and / or a set of capability information is reported for the second situation (i.e., two sets of capability information are reported or one of the two sets is reported), each set of capability information may include the first sub-information or second sub-information corresponding to each frequency band other than the first frequency band pair in each frequency band combination, when each frequency band pair is used as the first frequency band pair. The details are not repeated here.

[0057] The terminal capability reporting signaling may include a frequency band combination uplink transmission switching field, further include an uplink transmission switching frequency band pair field, and further include an uplink transmission switching maintaining uplink transmission field, which may indicate maintaining uplink transmission in another frequency band other than the two frequency bands in the first frequency band pair, corresponding to the aforementioned second situation.

[0058] In step S104, uplink transmission is performed or not performed within the switching time difference range between the first frequency band pair and the second frequency band pair according to the terminal capability information.

[0059] In some embodiments, when the terminal capability information indicates that the terminal has different switching times between the first frequency band pair and the second frequency band pair and can perform uplink transmission within the switching time difference range between the first frequency band pair and the second frequency band pair, uplink transmission is performed within the switching time difference range between the first frequency band pair and the second frequency band pair. And / or, when the terminal capability information indicates that the terminal has different switching times between the first frequency band pair and the second frequency band pair and cannot perform uplink transmission within the switching time difference range between the first frequency band pair and the second frequency band pair, uplink transmission is not performed within the switching time difference range between the first frequency band pair and the second frequency band pair.

[0060] In some embodiments, uplink transmission is performed on a frequency band before the second frequency band pair is switched, and / or uplink transmission is performed on a frequency band after the second frequency band pair is switched.

[0061] In some embodiments, the uplink transmission is based on the scheduling of the base station. Based on the scheduling of the base station, the first transmitter and the second transmitter start switching.

[0062] For example, if the first transmitter and the second transmitter start switching at the same time, then within the time range from the time the second transmitter completes switching to the time the first transmitter completes switching, uplink transmission is performed on the frequency band after the second transmitter switches. For another example, if the first transmitter starts switching first, and the first and second transmitters complete switching at the same time, then within the time range from the start of switching of the first transmitter to the start of switching of the second transmitter, uplink transmission is performed on the frequency band before the second transmitter switches. For another example, if the first transmitter starts switching first and the second transmitter completes switching first, then within the time range from the time the second transmitter completes switching to the time the first transmitter completes switching, uplink transmission is performed on the frequency band after the second transmitter switches, and within the time range from the start of switching of the first transmitter to the start of switching of the second transmitter, uplink transmission is performed on the frequency band before the second transmitter switches.

[0063] For example, the first frequency band pair is frequency bands A and B, and the second frequency band pair is frequency bands C and D. Figure 2A As shown, transmitter 1 (first transmitter) switches between frequency bands A and B, and transmitter 2 (second transmitter) switches between frequency bands C and D. Transmitters 1 and 2 start switching at the same time, and transmitter 2 completes switching first. Then, uplink transmission is performed in frequency band D within t1-t2. The specific details are determined by the base station scheduling.

[0064] like Figure 2B As shown, transmitter 1 (first transmitter) switches between frequency bands A and B, and transmitter 2 (second transmitter) switches between frequency bands C and D. Transmitter 1 starts switching first, and transmitters 1 and 2 complete switching at the same time, and perform uplink transmission in frequency band C within t1-t2. The specific details are determined by the base station scheduling.

[0065] like Figure 2C As shown, transmitter 1 (first transmitter) switches between frequency bands A and B, and transmitter 2 (second transmitter) switches between frequency bands C and D. Transmitter 1 starts switching first, and transmitter 2 completes switching first, first performing uplink transmission on frequency band C, and then performing uplink transmission on frequency band D. The specific details are determined by the base station scheduling.

[0066] like Figure 2D As shown, transmitter 1 (the first transmitter) switches between frequency bands A and B, and transmitter 2 (the second transmitter) switches between frequency bands C and D. During t1-t2, no uplink transmission is performed.

[0067] In step S106, according to the terminal capability information, uplink transmission is performed or not performed on another frequency band other than the two frequency bands in the first frequency band pair within the first switching time range.

[0068] In some embodiments, when the terminal capability information indicates that switching is performed between two frequency bands in the first frequency band pair and the switching time is the first switching time, and uplink transmission can be performed on another frequency band other than the two frequency bands in the first frequency band pair within the first switching time range, uplink transmission is performed on another frequency band other than the two frequency bands in the first frequency band pair. And / or when the terminal capability information indicates that switching is performed between two frequency bands in the first frequency band pair and the switching time is the first switching time, and uplink transmission cannot be performed on another frequency band other than the two frequency bands in the first frequency band pair within the first switching time range, uplink transmission is not performed on another frequency band other than the two frequency bands in the first frequency band pair within the first switching time range.

[0069] For example, the first frequency band pair is frequency bands A and B, and the second transmitter is maintained in frequency band C. Figure 3A As shown, transmitter 1 (first transmitter) switches between frequency bands A and B, and transmitter 2 (second transmitter) maintains frequency band C. Transmitter 2 performs uplink transmission in frequency band C within t1. The specific timing is determined by the base station scheduling.

[0070] like Figure 3B As shown, transmitter 1 (the first transmitter) switches between frequency bands A and B, and transmitter 2 (the second transmitter) maintains frequency band C. Transmitter 2 does not perform uplink transmission in frequency band C during t1.

[0071] In the above embodiment, the terminal supporting uplink switching transmission reports the terminal capability information to the base station, indicating whether the terminal can perform uplink transmission within the switching time difference range of the first frequency band pair and the second frequency band pair when the switching time of the first frequency band pair and the second frequency band pair are different, and / or indicating whether the terminal can perform uplink transmission on another frequency band other than the two frequency bands in the first frequency band pair within the first switching time range when switching between the two frequency bands in the first frequency band pair and the switching time is the first switching time. Thereby, the base station can perform scheduling according to the capability information of the terminal, improve the utilization rate of uplink resources, and improve scheduling efficiency and effectiveness.

[0072] In addition, in the case where uplink transmission can be performed within the switching time difference between the first frequency band pair and the second frequency band pair, or uplink transmission can be performed on another frequency band other than the two frequency bands in the first frequency band pair within the first switching time range, the interruption of uplink transmission can be reduced, the system performance can be improved and the restrictions on network scheduling can be reduced.

[0073] In the case where uplink transmission cannot be performed within the switching time difference between the first frequency band pair and the second frequency band pair, or uplink transmission cannot be performed on another frequency band other than the two frequency bands in the first frequency band pair within the first switching time range, the base station can also be clearly informed of the interruption of uplink transmission to achieve controllable interruption.

[0074] The present disclosure also provides a terminal, Figure 4 Give a description.
