It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, only the base station in the NR system is taken as an example for introduction, and the specific type of the base station is not limited.

[0087] For ease of understanding, some contents involved in the embodiments of the present application are described below:

[0088] 1. Regarding the reporting of the terminal capability request filter (UE capability request filter).

[0089] After receiving the capability query message of the first access network device, the terminal will report the frequency band, function and function group supported by the terminal in combination; if the NR or Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) network is nr, eutra-nr or eutra requesting UE capabilities, the terminal will execute the terminal processing flow. The terminal processing flow will be executed once for each rat-Type requested.

[0090] The terminal processing flow is as follows:

[0091] First, the terminal compiles the terminal capabilities based on the terminal capability request filter in the capability query message, and generates the terminal capabilities matching the filter.

[0092] Then, the terminal reports the terminal capability, including the filtered terminal capability. At the same time, the terminal may further report a mirror filter, in which the mirror filter should be the same as the terminal capability request filter in the capability query message sent by the network.

[0093] Optionally, the specific process of the terminal performing terminal capability compilation may refer to related technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0094] 2. About ignoring filters.

[0095] Currently, the Radio Resource Control (RRC) specification defines the processing delay requirements for RRC procedures. The performance requirements are expressed as the time from receiving the downlink (DL) RRC message to the time when the UE should be ready to receive the uplink grant (UL Grant) of the uplink (UL) RRC response message. Among the different RRC procedures, the delay requirement of the UE capability transmission procedure is the longest, i.e. 80ms, while the delay requirement of the simplest RRC reconfiguration procedure is 10ms.

[0096] The rationale for this delay requirement comes from the fact that the UE capability transmission process involves "UE capability filtering". That is, the UE needs to customize the content of the reported UE capabilities according to the filter notified by the network, for example, requesting the UE to report the list of frequency bands for UE capabilities. This process places high demands on the UE's processing power and memory; therefore, a longer processing delay is allowed.

[0097] The UE capability filtering feature was originally introduced to address the growing UE capability size due to carrier aggregation and to ensure that the total UE capability size fits within the maximum Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) Service Data Unit (SDU) size. However, in the case of enhanced reduced capability (eRedCap), assuming that the UE only supports a single component carrier (CC) operation, if the UE only reports UE capabilities related to a single CC operation, the total UE capability size is much smaller than the maximum PDCP SDU size (9KB). If the UE supports 29 frequency bands, it is 1.6KB. This essentially means that UE capability filtering does not provide much benefit.

[0098] In the current UE capability transmission process, the UE reports capability signaling based on the received capability query, and the UE reports the supportedBandList in the UE capability, which includes all frequency bands that the UE can support.

[0099] In the current UE capability filtering process, the UE compiles "candidate frequency band combinations" according to the capability filtering criteria received from the capability query. The UE capability filter (frequencyBandListFilter) provided in the capability query on the receiving network side will be mirrored to the capabilities reported by the UE. The UE filters the frequency band combinations in the supported frequency band combination list (supportedBandCombinationList) according to the mirrored UE capability filter. UE capability filtering may also affect "candidate feature set combinations".

[0100] So a simple implementation is that the UE simply ignores the UE capability filter and reports all supported (non-CA) band combinations and associated feature sets. It is beneficial to let the network know that the UE has included all supported band combinations and associated feature sets in the UE capabilities so that the network does not re-ask the UE capabilities again.

[0101] The simplest mechanism for optional UE capability filters is to allow the UE to change or modify the applyFreqBandListFilter to include all bands supported by the UE in supportedBandList, rather than querying the mirrored bandlist filter from the capabilities. The network will see that the mirrored capability filter includes all bands supported by the UE (as shown in supportedBandList), and can determine that there is no need to re-query the UE capabilities.

[0102] The terminal capability reporting processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below through some embodiments and their application scenarios in combination with the accompanying drawings.

[0103] Reference Figure 2 , the present application embodiment provides a method for processing terminal capability reporting, such as Figure 2 As shown, the terminal capability reporting processing method includes:

[0104] Step 201, the terminal sends target indication information to the first access network device;

[0105] The target indication information includes at least one of first indication information and second indication information, wherein the first indication information includes any one of the following:

[0106] A first indication, used to indicate at least one of: a target capability reported by the terminal meets the target filter and a mirror filter reported by the terminal meets the target filter;

[0107] a second indication, used to indicate at least one of: a target capability reported by the terminal does not meet the target filter, a mirror filter reported by the terminal does not meet the target filter, the target capability exceeds the target filter, and the mirror filter exceeds the target filter;

[0108] The second indication information includes at least one of the following:

[0109] A third indication, used to indicate whether the terminal supports terminal capability filtering;

[0110] a fourth indication, used to indicate whether the terminal applies a target filter;

[0111] The fifth indication is used to indicate full characteristic capability;

[0112] A sixth indication, used to indicate that the target capability reported by the terminal can be used for a cell after the terminal performs cell handover or cell selection reselection;

[0113] The target filter is a capability request filter carried in the capability inquiry message sent by the first access network device.

[0114] In the embodiment of the present application, when the first indication is used to indicate that the target capability reported by the terminal meets the target filter, it can be understood that the target indication information indicates that the reported target capability meets the target filter. At this time, the terminal can report the target capability according to the target filter.

[0115] For example, if the target filter is a filter for a band combination (BC), the BCs supported in the target capability reported by the terminal only include the BCs of the target filter, or the BCs corresponding to the target filter;

[0116] For example, if the target filter is a filter for Band, the Bands supported in the target capability reported by the terminal only include the Bands of the target filter or the Bands corresponding to the target filter;

[0117] For example, if the target filter is a filter for radio access technology (Radio Access Technology, RAT), the RAT supported in the target capability reported by the terminal only includes the RAT of the target filter, or the RAT corresponding to the target filter;

[0118] For example, the target filter is a filter for a feature set, and the Feature sets supported in the target capability reported by the terminal only include the Feature set of the target filter, or the Feature set corresponding to the target filter.

[0119] Optionally, when the first indication is used to indicate that the mirrored filter reported by the terminal meets the target filter, it can be understood that: the target indication information indicates that the reported mirrored filter meets the target filter, or the target indication information indicates that the reported mirrored filter is the same as the target filter.

[0120] Optionally, the target capability reported by the terminal does not meet the target filter, which can be understood or replaced by the target capability reported by the terminal being different from the capability generated after filtering by the target filter. In the case where the second indication is used to indicate that the target capability reported by the terminal does not meet the target filter, it can be understood as: indicating through the target indication information that the reported target capability does not meet the target filter, or indicating through the target indication information that the target capability reported by the terminal is different from the capability generated after filtering by the target filter. At this time, the terminal does not report the target capability according to the target filter.

[0121] For example, if the target filter is a filter for BC, the BC supported in the target capability reported by the terminal does not match the BC of the target filter, or the BC corresponding to the target filter;

[0122] For example, if the target filter is a filter for Band, the Band supported in the target capability reported by the terminal does not match the Band of the target filter or the Band corresponding to the target filter;

[0123] For example, the target filter is a filter for RAT, and the RAT supported in the target capability reported by the terminal does not match the RAT of the target filter, or the RAT corresponding to the target filter;

[0124] For example, if the target filter is a filter for a feature set, the feature set supported in the target capability reported by the terminal does not match the feature set of the target filter or the feature set corresponding to the target filter.

[0125] Optionally, the above RAT may include NR, eUtra, Utra, EN-DC and 6G RAT, etc., which are not further limited here.

[0126] Optionally, the mirror filter reported by the terminal not meeting the target filter can be understood or replaced by the mirror filter reported by the terminal being different from the target filter. In the case where the second indication is used to indicate that the mirror filter reported by the terminal does not meet the target filter, it can be understood as: indicating through the target indication information that the reported mirror filter does not meet the target filter, or indicating through the target indication information that the mirror filter reported by the terminal is different from the capability generated after filtering by the target filter.

[0127] Optionally, the target capability exceeding the target filter can be understood or replaced by the target capability exceeding the capability generated after filtering by the target filter (also referred to as the capability of the target filter). That is, the terminal can report the target capability according to exceeding the target filter. Among them, the above-mentioned exceeding means that the target capability, in addition to the capability of the target filter, further includes the capability of at least one specific characteristic, and the specific characteristic is other characteristics other than the characteristics corresponding to the capability of the target filter. For example, in some embodiments, in addition to the capability of the target filter, the terminal can further report the capability required by the second access network device.

[0128] Optionally, when the second indication is used to indicate that the mirrored filter exceeds the target filter, the terminal may report the mirrored filter according to exceeding the target filter.

[0129] Optionally, in some embodiments, the full-featured capability includes at least one of the following:

[0130] All segments or frequency bands supported by the terminal;

[0131] All frequency band combinations (BC) supported by the terminal;

[0132] All radio access technologies (RATs) supported by the terminal;

[0133] The complete feature set supported by the terminal.

[0134] Optionally, in some embodiments, the full-feature capability is all supported capabilities corresponding to the target feature, and the target feature is the feature corresponding to the target filter. In the embodiment of the present application, when the full-feature capability is indicated, the target capability sent by the terminal is the full-feature capability, and the full-feature capability corresponds to all supported capabilities corresponding to the feature corresponding to the target filter. Specifically, at least one of the following is included:

[0135] If the target filter corresponds to a frequency band or frequency band, the full feature capability here refers to all bands supported by the terminal.

[0136] If the characteristic corresponding to the target filter is a frequency band or a frequency band combination, the full characteristic capability here refers to all the band combinations supported by the terminal;

[0137] If the target filter corresponds to the RAT feature, the full feature capability here refers to all RATs supported by the terminal.

[0138] If the feature corresponding to the target filter is a feature set, the full feature capability here refers to all feature sets supported by the terminal.

[0139] Optionally, the second indication information and the first indication information may be combined to indicate, for example, in some embodiments, the target indication information may be used to indicate that the target capability is a full-featured capability and that the target capability complies with the target filter, specifically, that the target capability is reported according to the target filter.

[0140] For another example, in some embodiments, the target capability may be indicated by the target indication information as a full-featured capability, and the mirror filter complies with the target filter.

[0141] Optionally, for the third indication above: whether terminal capability filtering is supported can be understood or replaced by whether the terminal can report the corresponding terminal capability (i.e., target capability) according to the target filter, or can be understood or replaced by whether the capability filter is supported. Among them, the third indication can be specifically indicated by explicit indication, for example, by different bit values ​​to indicate whether terminal capability filtering is supported, assuming that the bit value is 1 (or true) to indicate that terminal capability filtering is supported, and the bit value is 0 (or false) to indicate that terminal capability filtering is not supported.

[0142] Alternatively, in some embodiments, assuming that the bit value is 1 (or true) indicates that terminal capability filtering is not supported, and the bit value is 0 (or false) indicates that terminal capability filtering is supported. The advantage of this embodiment is that it has better backward compatibility, because existing terminals all support terminal capability filtering. However, for newly introduced terminals or newly introduced features, the terminals may not support terminal capability filtering. Therefore, by setting this ratio value to 1 or true, it is indicated that terminal capability filtering is not supported. Otherwise, it indicates that the terminal supports terminal capability filtering.

[0143] It can also be indicated in an implicit way, for example, if the information sent by the terminal carries the corresponding indication, or if the information sent by the terminal carries the third indication, it indicates that terminal capability filtering is supported; if the information sent by the terminal does not carry the corresponding indication, or if the information sent by the terminal does not carry the third indication, it is defaulted that terminal capability filtering is not supported. Alternatively, in some embodiments, if the information sent by the terminal carries the corresponding indication, or if the information sent by the terminal carries the third indication, it indicates that terminal capability filtering is not supported; if the information sent by the terminal does not carry the corresponding indication, or if the information sent by the terminal does not carry the third indication, it is defaulted that terminal capability filtering is supported. The advantage of this embodiment is that it has better backward compatibility, because existing terminals all support terminal capability filtering. However, for newly introduced terminals or newly introduced features, the terminal may not be able to support terminal capability filtering. Therefore, carrying this indication or carrying the third indication indicates that terminal capability filtering is not supported. On the contrary, it indicates that the terminal supports terminal capability filtering.

[0144] It should be understood that the above corresponding indication can be understood as an indication associated with the third indication, such as the above first indication or the second indication. The information sent by the above terminal can be the above target indication information, or a message associated with the target indication information, such as a capability message. For example, in some embodiments, the target indication information indicates whether the terminal supports terminal capability filtering by whether it carries the third indication, wherein, in the case of carrying the third indication, it indicates that the terminal does not support terminal capability filtering; in the case of not carrying the third indication, it indicates that the terminal supports terminal capability filtering.

[0145] Optionally, the fourth indication may be indicated by display, for example, by using different bit values ​​to indicate whether the target filter is applied. Assuming that the bit value is 1 (or true), it indicates that the target filter has been applied, and the bit value is 0 (or false), it indicates that the target filter has not been applied.

[0146] Alternatively, in some embodiments, assuming that the bit value is 1 (or true) indicates that the target filter is not applied, and the bit value is 0 (or false) indicates that the target filter is applied. The advantage of this embodiment is that it has better backward compatibility, because existing terminals have already applied the target filter. However, for newly introduced terminals or newly introduced features, the terminal may not be able to apply the target filter. Therefore, by setting this ratio value to 1 or true, it is indicated that the target filter is not applied. Otherwise, it indicates that the terminal has applied the target filter.

[0147] It can also be indicated in an implicit way, for example, if the information sent by the terminal carries the corresponding indication, or if the information sent by the terminal carries the fourth indication, it means that the target filter has been applied; if the information sent by the terminal does not carry the corresponding indication, or if the information sent by the terminal does not carry the fourth indication, it is defaulted that the target filter is not applied. Or, in some embodiments, if the information sent by the terminal carries the corresponding indication, or if the information sent by the terminal carries the fourth indication, it means that the target filter is not applied; if the information sent by the terminal does not carry the corresponding indication, or if the information sent by the terminal does not carry the fourth indication, it is defaulted that the target filter has been applied. The advantage of this embodiment is that it has better backward compatibility, because the existing terminals have all applied the target filter. For newly introduced terminals, or newly introduced features, the terminal may not be able to apply the target filter. Therefore, it is indicated that the target filter is not applied by carrying this indication or carrying the fourth indication. On the contrary, it means that the terminal has applied the target filter.

[0148] It should be understood that the information sent by the above terminal may be the above target indication information, or a message associated with the target indication information, such as a capability message. For example, in some embodiments, the target indication information indicates whether the terminal applies the target filter by whether it carries the fourth indication, wherein, in the case of carrying the fourth indication, it indicates that the terminal has not applied the target filter; in the case of not carrying the fourth indication, it indicates that the terminal has applied the target filter.

[0149] With respect to the sixth indication, when the target indication information includes the sixth indication, the terminal may further report the capabilities required by the second access network device in addition to the capabilities of the target filter. At this time, the first access network device may correctly understand the target capabilities reported by the terminal according to the sixth indication. At the same time, when the terminal moves to the cell corresponding to the second access network device, the terminal may not need to re-report the terminal capabilities, and at the same time, the second access network device does not need to re-query the terminal capabilities, thereby reducing the signaling overhead.

[0150] It should be noted that the above-mentioned first access network device can be understood as the access network device corresponding to the current service cell of the terminal or the access network device with receiving target capability, and the above-mentioned second access network device can be understood as other access network devices except the first access network device, for example, the access network device corresponding to the neighboring area of ​​the terminal.

[0151] In an embodiment of the present application, target indication information is sent to a first access network device through a terminal; wherein the target indication information includes at least one of first indication information and second indication information, wherein the first indication information includes any one of the following: a first indication, used to indicate that a target capability reported by the terminal meets at least one of a target filter and a mirror filter reported by the terminal meets at least one of a target filter; a second indication, used to indicate that the target capability reported by the terminal does not meet the target filter, the mirror filter reported by the terminal does not meet the target filter, the target capability exceeds at least one of the target filter and the mirror filter exceeds the target filter; wherein the second indication information includes at least one of the following: a third indication, used to indicate whether the terminal supports terminal capability filtering; a fourth indication, used to indicate whether the terminal applies a target filter; a fifth indication, used to indicate full-feature capability; a sixth indication, used to indicate that the target capability reported by the terminal can be used for the cell after the terminal performs cell switching or cell selection reselection; wherein the target filter is a capability request filter carried in a capability query message sent by the first access network device. In this way, when the terminal capability is insufficient or the terminal needs to report capabilities other than those required to be reported by the capability inquiry message, the capabilities can be reported according to actual needs. At this time, the first access network device can understand the capabilities reported by the terminal based on the target indication information, thereby ensuring the correctness of the first access network device's understanding of the target capabilities reported by the terminal.

[0152] Optionally, in some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0153] The terminal receives a capability enquiry message (ie, UE capability enquiry) from the first access network device, where the capability enquiry message carries the target filter (eg, UE-CapabilityRequestFilter);

[0154] The terminal sends a capability message to the first access network device based on the capability query message, where the capability message includes the target capability.

[0155] Optionally, in some embodiments, the target indication information is implicitly indicated by the image filter, wherein the target indication information satisfies at least one of the following:

[0156] In the case where the mirrored filter is different from the target filter, the target indication information is used to indicate that the terminal does not support terminal capability filtering, the terminal does not apply the target filter, and the target capability is at least one of the full-featured capabilities;

[0157] In the case that the mirror filter is the same as the target filter, the target indication information is used to indicate that the terminal supports terminal capability filtering, the terminal has applied the target filter, and the target capability is at least one of the full-featured capabilities.

[0158] It should be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, the capability message needs to include the mirror filter, based on which the target indication information can be implicitly indicated, thereby saving signaling overhead.

[0159] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the target indication information is associated with the target information reported by the terminal, and the target information includes at least one of a target capability and a mirror filter.

[0160] Optionally, in some embodiments, the target capability includes at least one of the following:

[0166] In the embodiment of the present application, the specific content of the above-mentioned target capability corresponds to the target indication information, that is, the target capability matches the target indication information. For example, when the above-mentioned target indication information includes the first indication, the above-mentioned target capability corresponds to the first capability. That is, when the target indication information indicates that the target capability reported by the terminal meets the target filter, the above-mentioned target capability is the capability that meets the target filter, and when the target indication information indicates that the mirror filter reported by the terminal meets the target filter, the above-mentioned target capability is the mirror filter that meets the target filter.

[0167] Optionally, the capability that complies with the target filter may be understood or replaced by the capability that complies with the filter carried in the capability query message, that is, the capability generated according to the target filter.

[0168] Optionally, the mirrored filter that matches the target filter may be understood or replaced by a mirrored filter that matches the filter carried in the capability query message.

[0169] Optionally, the capability that does not conform to the target filter may be understood or replaced by a capability that does not conform to the capability corresponding to the filter carried in the capability query message, or a capability that is generated after filtering by a filter that is different from the filter carried in the capability query message.

[0170] Optionally, the mirrored filter that does not conform to the target filter may be understood or replaced by a mirrored filter that does not conform to the filter carried in the capability query message.

[0171] Optionally, the capability that exceeds the target filter is the capability that exceeds the capability of the target filter. Further, the capability that exceeds the target filter can be understood or replaced by the capability that exceeds the filter carried in the capability query message, or the capability generated after filtering the filter carried in the capability query message.

[0172] Optionally, the capability corresponding to the mirrored filter exceeding the target filter may be understood or replaced by a mirrored filter exceeding the filter carried in the capability query message.

[0173] Optionally, in some embodiments, the target capability may include a combination of at least two of the first capability, the second capability, and the third capability. For example, in some embodiments, the target capability may include a full-featured capability, and the target capability complies with a target filter, specifically, the target capability is reported according to the target filter. For example, in some embodiments, the target capability may include a full-featured capability, and the mirror filter complies with the target filter.

[0174] Optionally, in some embodiments, the target indication information is carried in a target message, and the target message includes at least one of the following:

[0175] A capability message, wherein the capability message is used to report the target capability;

[0176] Terminal auxiliary information UAI message;

[0177] Radio Resource Control RRC message;

[0178] Uplink message during the random access channel RACH process.

[0179] Optionally, when the target message includes a capability message, it can be understood that the terminal carries the above target indication information when reporting the capability.

[0180] Optionally, when the target message includes an RRC message, the target indication information may be reported in a connection establishment message, wherein the RRC message may be understood as a UL RRC message.

[0181] Optionally, the uplink message may include at least one of message 1 (msg1), msg3 and msgA. That is, in the RACH process, the terminal is instructed to report the capabilities previously reported to the network or stored in the network, and the specifics may refer to the target capabilities.

[0182] Optionally, in some embodiments, the target filter and the mirror filter are used to filter at least one of the following characteristics:

[0183] The frequency bands or frequencies supported;

[0184] Supported frequency band combinations;

[0185] Supported wireless access technologies;

[0186] Supported feature sets.

[0187] Optionally, in some embodiments, the type of the terminal includes at least one of the following:

[0188] a reduced capacity terminal or an enhanced reduced capacity terminal;

[0189] Internet of Things (IoT) terminals;

[0190] Vehicle to Everything (V2X) terminals;

[0191] Point-to-point (Device to Device, D2D) terminal;

[0192] Non-terrestrial network (NTN) terminal.

[0193] Optionally, in other embodiments, the terminal may also be a common terminal, that is, a 3G terminal, a 4G terminal, a 5G terminal or a 6G terminal, etc.

[0194] Optionally, the above-mentioned IoT terminals may include narrowband Internet of Things (NBIoT) terminals, machine type communication (MTC) terminals, artificial intelligence Internet of Things (AIoT) terminals, etc.

[0195] Optionally, in some embodiments, when a preset condition is met, the target indication information includes the second indication, and the preset condition includes at least one of the following:

[0196] The processing capability of the terminal is limited; the cache capability of the terminal is limited; the processing delay of the terminal exceeds a preset threshold; the terminal does not expect to report terminal capabilities frequently; the capabilities supported by the terminal are limited; the frequency bands supported by the terminal are limited; the frequency band combinations supported by the terminal are limited; the types of wireless access technologies supported by the terminal are limited; the feature set supported by the terminal is limited; the terminal has learned the terminal capabilities required by the second access network device.

[0197] In the embodiment of the present application, the processing delay of the terminal exceeding the preset threshold can be understood as the processing delay of the terminal being too large, and the limited capabilities supported by the above-mentioned terminal can be understood as supporting reduced capabilities.

[0198] It should be noted that the above-mentioned limited can be understood as at least one of the following: less, smaller, less than a preset threshold, smaller than a preset threshold, less than an ordinary terminal, and smaller than an ordinary terminal.

[0199] Optionally, in some embodiments, when the terminal has learned the terminal capabilities required by the second access network device, the target capabilities include at least one of the following: capabilities that meet the target filter, terminal capabilities required by the second access network device; full-featured capabilities;

[0200] Alternatively, in a case where the terminal has learned the terminal capability required by the second access network device, the target indication information includes the second indication.

[0201] For example, in some embodiments, when the terminal has learned the terminal capability required by the second access network device, at least one of the following may be performed:

[0202] Reporting full-feature capabilities and at least one of the second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth indications;

[0203] Report the capabilities that meet the target filter and the terminal capabilities required by the second access network device, and report at least one of the above-mentioned second indication, third indication, fourth indication, fifth indication and sixth indication.

[0204] That is to say, when the terminal reports the capability that does not meet the target filter, it also does not report the full capability (i.e., full capability), and in this case, it needs to report the target indication information. For example, if the UE knows the band configuration of the neighboring cell, it only reports the bands to be used by the current cell and the neighboring cell, rather than the fully supported bands (full supported bands). In this way, the UE does not need to report again after moving to another cell, and the network does not need to re-enquiry the terminal (enquiry UE) capabilities.

[0205] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, after the terminal switches to or reselects the cell corresponding to the second access network device, the terminal does not need to report the terminal capabilities. Further, the above terminal capabilities can be transmitted from the core network to the second cell or the second access network device.

[0206] Optionally, in some embodiments, the target capability reported by the terminal meets the capability of the target filter, or the mirror filter reported by the terminal meets the target filter, and the target capability reported by the terminal is exactly the full-feature capability of the characteristic corresponding to the target filter (for example, the characteristic corresponding to the target filter is band, BC, RAT or Feature Set, and the reported target capability is that the terminal supports all Bands, BC, RAT or Feature Set). At this time, the above-mentioned target indication information includes at least one of the above-mentioned first indication and the fifth indication.

[0207] Furthermore, after the first access network device receives the target capability and target indication information, the terminal knows that the target capability is the terminal's support for full-feature capabilities, and the network side also knows that the target capability is the terminal's support for full-feature capabilities. The terminal does not need to report capabilities after moving to the second cell corresponding to the second access network device.

[0208] Optionally, in some embodiments, since there may be errors in the internal implementation of the terminal or in the reporting, the first access network device may perform a corresponding behavior according to the content reported by the terminal. For example, when the target indication information does not match the target capability, the first access network device performs the first behavior;

[0209] When the target indication information matches the target capability, the first access network device performs a second behavior;

[0210] The first behavior includes at least one of the following:

[0211] Determining that the target capability is invalid;

[0212] Determining not to send the target capability to a target device, the target device comprising at least one of a second access network device and a core network device;

[0213] Sending a capability inquiry message to the terminal;

[0214] The second behavior includes at least one of the following:

[0215] Determining that the target capability is effective;

[0216] Sending the target capability to a target device, where the target device includes at least one of a second access network device and a core network device;

[0217] It is determined not to resend the capability inquiry message to the terminal.

[0218] In the embodiment of the present application, the mismatch between the target indication information and the target capability can be understood as at least one of the following:

[0219] When the target indication information is used to indicate the first indication, the reported target capability is the second capability;

[0220] When the target indication information is used to indicate the second indication, the reported target capability is the first capability.

[0221] In the case where the target indication information is used to indicate a full-feature capability, the reported target capability is a non-full-feature capability.

[0222] Optionally, in some implementations, when the target indication information matches the target capability, the second access network device or a cell corresponding to the second access network device considers that the target capability reported by the terminal is valid.

[0223] Optionally, in some embodiments, when the target indication information does not match the target capability, the second access network device or the cell corresponding to the second access network device considers that the target capability reported by the terminal is invalid.

[0224] It should be understood that, in the case where the target indication information does not match the target capability, the first access network device may send a capability inquiry message to the terminal to re-inquire about the capability of the terminal.

[0225] Further, in the case that the target indication information does not match the target capability, if the core network receives the target capability, the core network device will not send the target capability of the terminal to the second access network device.
