[0064] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, and examples thereof are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. On the contrary, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0065] To avoid the situation where the number of CA combinations or ENDC combinations to be reported by the terminal is large, resulting in the size of the terminal capability information exceeding the protocol limit, there are two solutions in related technologies: Solution 1, device developers conduct a large number of tests during the device R & D stage, screen out all operators whose number of CA combinations or ENDC combinations may exceed the limit through the test results, and perform specific settings for each operator. The terminal reports fixed combinations according to the specific settings. However, when using this solution, if the CA combinations or ENDC combinations supported by the operator change or are extended, the device developer needs to spend a lot of time and effort to update all previous products, with a high cost; Solution 2, when the terminal reports the terminal capability information, the terminal randomly trims the CA combinations or ENDC combinations to be reported until the size of the terminal capability information meets the protocol requirements. However, this solution is very likely to cause the loss of important CA combinations or ENDC combinations for the operator, resulting in bandwidth obstruction and affecting the communication ability of the terminal.

[0066] In an exemplary implementation of the present disclosure, to overcome the problem that the size of the capability information exceeds the protocol limit in related technologies, an information reporting method is provided, including: receiving capability query information sent by a network device, determining first capability information, where the first capability information includes multiple frequency band combinations. When the number of frequency band combinations is greater than a first threshold, at least one frequency band combination in the first capability information is deleted according to the usage frequency of each frequency band combination to obtain second capability information, and the second capability information is sent to the network device. This information reporting method, in order to ensure that the reported capability information meets the protocol requirements, retains common frequency band combinations in the capability information and preferentially reports frequently used frequency band combinations, making the reported frequency band combinations more in line with the needs of the network device and improving the practicability of the reported frequency band combinations.

[0067] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, an information reporting method is provided. Figure 1 is a flowchart of an information reporting method shown according to an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, including the following steps:

[0068] Step S101, receiving capability query information sent by a network device;

[0069] Step S102, determining first capability information according to the capability query information, where the first capability information includes multiple frequency band combinations;

[0070] Step S103, when the number of frequency band combinations is greater than a first threshold, deleting at least one frequency band combination in the first capability information according to the usage frequency of each frequency band combination to obtain second capability information;

[0071] Step S104, sending the second capability information to the network device.

[0072] The information reporting method in this embodiment is applied to a first device, which includes terminal devices such as mobile phones, tablets, and smart wearable devices, smart home devices, in-vehicle smart devices such as in-vehicle units, and other electronic devices with communication capabilities.

[0073] In step S101, the network device includes an access network or a core network. The capability query information is used to query the bandwidth capability of the first device. For example, the capability query information is transmitted through a UECapabilityEnquiry message, and the first device receives the capability query information by receiving the UECapabilityEnquiry message sent by the network device.

[0074] In step S102, when the capability query information includes frequency band parameters or other restriction parameters, it means querying the bandwidth capability of the first device corresponding to the frequency band parameters or the restriction parameters; when the capability query information does not include frequency band parameters or other restriction parameters, it means querying all the bandwidth capabilities supported by the first device.

[0075] The bandwidth capability of the first device represents the situation of the frequency band combinations supported by the first device. The frequency band combination represents the frequency band combination used to expand the bandwidth under the current network mode. For example, in the LTE network mode, the frequency band combination is a CA combination, and in the NR network mode, the frequency band combination is an ENDC combination. The first device reports the bandwidth capability to the network device through first capability information. The first capability information includes multiple frequency band combinations, and the number of frequency band combinations is determined according to the capability query information. If the frequency band parameters or other restriction parameters are not specified in the capability query information, the number of frequency band combinations in the first capability information is all the frequency band combinations supported by the first device; if the frequency band parameters or other restriction parameters are specified in the capability query information, the number of frequency band combinations in the first capability information is the frequency band combination corresponding to the specified frequency band parameters or the specified restriction parameters.

[0076] In step S103, the first threshold is determined by the communication protocol between the network device and the first device. The first threshold represents the maximum number of frequency band combinations that can be included in the first capability information restricted by the protocol. When the number of frequency band combinations in the first capability information exceeds the first threshold, it means that the size of the first capability information exceeds the protocol restriction and cannot be sent to the network device. At this time, obtain the usage frequency of each frequency band combination in the first capability information, and according to the usage frequency of each frequency band combination, delete at least one frequency band combination in the first capability information until the number of frequency band combinations meets the protocol requirements, that is, the number of frequency band combinations is equal to the first threshold or less than the first threshold. The first capability information after deleting the frequency band combination is the second capability information.

[0077] Since the band combinations with high usage frequencies are the band combinations that are more important to the operator, when deleting at least one band combination in the first capability information according to the usage frequency of each band combination, sort each band combination in the first capability information from high to low according to the usage frequency, and delete the band combinations with low usage frequencies.

[0078] It should be noted that when the number of band combinations with high usage frequencies is less than the first threshold and the usage frequencies of other band combinations with low usage frequencies are equal, randomly delete the band combinations with low usage frequencies. For example, the first capability information includes 100 band combinations, and among them, 40 band combinations have a usage frequency greater than 0, and the usage frequencies of the remaining 60 band combinations are equal to 0. When the protocol limit is 60 band combinations, randomly delete 40 band combinations with a usage frequency equal to 0 to obtain the second capability information including 40 band combinations with a usage frequency greater than 0 and 20 band combinations with a usage frequency equal to 0.

[0079] In step S104, if the number of band combinations in the second capability information meets the protocol requirements, send the second capability information to the network device. For example, send the second capability information through the UECapabilityInformation message. To inform the network device of a more comprehensive bandwidth capability, when deleting the band combinations, make the number of remaining band combinations in the second capability information equal to the first threshold.

[0080] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the first device receives the capability query information sent by the network device, determines a plurality of band combinations in the first capability information according to the capability query information, when the number of band combinations is greater than the first threshold, delete at least one band combination in the first capability information according to the usage frequency of each band combination to obtain the second capability information, and send the second capability information to the network device. To ensure that the reported capability information meets the protocol requirements, retain the commonly used band combinations in the capability information and preferentially report the frequently used band combinations, so that the reported band combinations are more in line with the requirements of the network device and can improve the practicality of the reported band combinations.

[0081] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, an information reporting method is provided. Figure 2 It is a flowchart of an information reporting method shown according to an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, including the following steps:

[0082] Step S201, receive the capability query information sent by the network device;

[0083] Step S202, determine the first capability information according to the capability query information, where the first capability information includes a plurality of band combinations;

[0084] Step S203, when the number of band combinations is greater than the first threshold, based on a preset time interval, send a request message to the second device. The request message includes Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) information and is used to obtain historical usage records. The historical usage records include the usage frequency of the band combinations, or include the usage time and usage times of the band combinations.

[0085] Step S204, receive the historical usage records sent by the second device.

[0086] Step S205, determine the usage frequency of each band combination according to the historical usage records.

[0087] Step S206, delete at least one band combination in the first capability information according to the usage frequency of each band combination to obtain the second capability information.

[0088] Step S207, send the second capability information to the network device.

[0089] Among them, for the specific implementation manners of steps S201 - S202 and steps S206 - S207, refer to steps S101 - S104, which will not be elaborated here.

[0090] In steps S203 and S204, the preset time interval is an empirical value. For example, the preset time interval can be set according to the time interval at which the network device issues the capability query information. The second device includes an electronic device with storage capabilities. For example, the second device is a cloud server. Sending a request message to the second device is used to request the second device to send down the historical usage records of the band combinations. When sending the request message, the Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) information of the first device itself is carried to inform the first device's current operator. When the second device receives the request message, it determines the corresponding historical usage records of the band combinations according to the PLMN information of the first device and sends the historical usage records to the first device. After receiving the historical usage records of the band combinations, the first device stores the historical usage records in the first device in the form of a file for viewing the historical usage records when receiving the capability query information from the network device.

[0091] In some possible implementation manners, when connecting to the network device, determine the current time interval according to the time when the historical usage records were last received from the second device; if the current time interval is greater than the preset time interval, send a request message to the second device.

[0092] The connection to the network device can be that the first device accesses the data network and establishes a connection with the network device, or it can be that after disconnecting from the network device, it resumes the connection with the network device and reconnects to the data network. Record the time of receiving the historical usage record from the second device each time in the first device. Subtract the time of receiving the historical usage record from the second device last time from the current time to obtain the current time interval. If the current time interval is greater than the preset time interval, send a request message to the second device.

[0093] In some possible implementation manners, the historical usage record includes the usage frequency of the band combination. The usage frequency represents the number of times the band combination is used within a certain period of time.

[0094] In some possible implementation manners, the historical usage record includes the usage time and the usage times of the band combination. The usage time represents the moment information of using the band combination, and the usage times represents the number of times the band combination is used.

[0095] In some possible implementation manners, the historical usage record of the band combination is generated by the second device according to the usage information of the band combination. To ensure that the second device can know the usage situation of the band combination, the method further includes: receiving the configuration information sent by the network device; determining the target band combination currently used according to the configuration information; sending the usage information to the second device, where the usage information includes the target band combination and the Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) information.

[0096] When the first device camps on the network, the network device will send the configuration information to the first device according to the capabilities of the first device. The configuration information is used to allocate a cell to the first device. For example, the configuration information is sent through the RRCReconfiguration message to allocate a Secondary Cell (SCell) or a Secondary Cell group (SCG) to the first device. The first device can know the target band combination currently used according to the configuration information. The current band usage information of the first device is composed of the target band combination and the PLMN information. The usage information is sent to the second device so that the second device can know the usage situation of the band combination and generate the historical usage record of the band combination according to the usage situation.

[0097] By recording the usage situation of the band combination by the second device, the storage overhead of the first device can be saved.

[0098] In some possible implementation manners, the historical usage record is obtained from a preset storage area of the first device. The preset storage area can be the general memory of the first device or an independent memory.

[0099] In step S205, after receiving the historical usage record, the first device determines the usage frequency of each band combination according to the historical usage record. When the historical usage record only includes the historical usage records of some band combinations in the first capability information, the usage frequency of the band combinations not included in the historical usage record is recorded as 0.

[0100] In some possible implementation manners, when the historical usage record includes the usage frequency of the band combination, the usage frequency of the band combination in the historical usage record can be directly used as the usage frequency.

[0101] In some possible implementation manners, when the historical usage record includes the usage time and the number of usage times of the band combination, the usage frequency is determined according to the usage time and the number of usage times. In one example, calculate the first time difference between the last usage time and the first usage time, and the ratio of the number of usage times to the first time difference is the usage frequency. In another example, the usage frequency is characterized by the usage time and the number of usage times. Calculate the second time difference between the usage time and the current time, calculate the product of the second time difference and the first weight, and the product of the number of usage times and the second weight. The sum of the two products is used to characterize the usage frequency, where the first weight and the second weight are preset values, and the first weight and the second weight can be obtained by analyzing a large amount of data related to the usage of band combinations.

[0102] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, an information reporting method is provided. Figure 3 It is a flowchart of an information reporting method shown according to an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 3 shown, including the following steps:

[0103] Step S301, receive the request information sent by the first device. The request information includes the Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) information, and the request information is used to obtain the historical usage record of the band combination;

[0104] Step S302, obtain the historical usage record in the database based on the Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) information;

[0105] Step S303, send the historical usage record to the first device.

[0106] The information reporting method in the embodiment of the present disclosure is applied to the second device. The second device includes an electronic device with storage capabilities. For example, the second device is a cloud server.

[0107] When the second device receives the request information sent by the first device, it queries the historical usage records of the corresponding band combinations in the database according to the PLMN information in the request information, and sends the queried historical usage records to the first device. The band combinations in the historical usage records are all the band combinations used by the first device. The historical usage records can be the usage frequency of the band combinations, or the usage time and usage times of the band combinations.

[0108] In some possible implementation manners, when the number of band combinations stored in the database is greater than the second threshold, delete the band combinations that meet the preset conditions. The preset conditions include that the usage frequency is less than the frequency threshold, or the usage time is the earliest and the usage times are the fewest.

[0109] To save the storage space of the database of the second device, when the number of band combinations stored in the database is greater than the second threshold, delete some band combinations so that the number of band combinations in the database is equal to or less than the second threshold. The second threshold is a set value determined according to the storage space of the database of the second device. When deleting the band combinations in the database, query and delete the band combinations that meet the preset conditions. The preset conditions can be that the usage frequency is less than the frequency threshold, or the usage time is the earliest and the usage times are the fewest. In one example, when the usage frequency of the band combinations is stored in the database, delete the band combinations with a usage frequency less than the frequency threshold; when the usage time and usage times of the band combinations are stored in the database, delete the band combinations with the earliest usage time and the fewest usage times.

[0110] In some possible implementation manners, receive the usage information sent by the first device. The usage information includes the target band combination currently used by the first device and the public land mobile network (PLMN) information; generate the historical usage records of the band combinations according to the usage information of all the target band combinations.

[0111] To know the usage situation of the band combinations in the first device, when the first device uses a band combination, it will send the usage information to the second device. After receiving the usage information sent by the first device, the second device can know the target band combination currently used by the first device and the PLMN information of the first device. According to the received usage information of all the target band combinations, the second device can generate the historical usage records of the band combinations.

[0112] In some possible implementation manners, determine the usage time and usage times of each target band combination according to the usage information of each target band combination. The usage times represent the reception times of the target band combination, and the usage time represents the reception time of the target band combination; generate the historical usage records of the band combinations based on the usage time and usage times of each target band combination, and the public land mobile network (PLMN) information.

[0113] When the second device receives each target band combination, if the same band combination does not exist in the database, it records the band combination in the database, sets its usage count to 1, and records the current reception time; if the same band combination exists in the database, it increments the usage count of the band combination and records the current reception time while retaining the historical reception time. When generating the historical usage record of the band combination, the other generates the historical usage record in the following two ways:

[0114] Way 1: Store the usage time and usage count of each target band combination, as well as the Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) information, in the database correspondingly to obtain the historical usage record of the band combination.

[0115] Way 2: Determine the usage frequency of each target band combination according to the usage time and usage count of each target band combination; store the usage frequency of each target band combination and the Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) information in the database correspondingly to obtain the historical usage record of the band combination.

[0116] When determining the usage frequency of each target band combination according to the usage time and usage count of each target band combination, it is possible to calculate the first time difference between the last usage time and the first usage time, and use the ratio of the usage count to the first time difference as the usage frequency; it is also possible to calculate the second time difference between the usage time and the current time, and use the sum of the product of the second time difference and the first weight, and the product of the usage count and the second weight as the usage frequency, where the first weight and the second weight are preset values, and the first weight and the second weight can be obtained by analyzing a large amount of data related to the usage of band combinations.

[0117] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the first device is a terminal device, and the second device is a server, providing an interaction process for the terminal device to send band combination usage information to the server. Figure 4 It is an interaction schematic diagram of sending band combination usage information shown according to an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 4 shown, including the following steps:

[0118] Step S401: The network device sends configuration information to the terminal device;

[0119] The network device allocates SCell and SCG to the terminal device through RRCReconfiguration.

[0120] Step S402: The terminal device determines the currently used target band combination according to the configuration information;

[0121] The terminal device obtains the currently used CA combination or ENDC combination according to the current resource allocation;

[0122] Step S403: The terminal device sends usage information to the server. The usage information includes the target frequency band combination and the Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) information;

[0123] Step S404: The server updates the frequency band combination information of the corresponding operator according to the PLMN information;

[0124] The server stores the target frequency band combination and the PLMN information in the database in a corresponding manner.

[0125] Step S405: The server sends an update completion response message to the terminal device.

[0126] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the first device is a terminal device and the second device is a server, providing an interaction process for the terminal device to obtain the usage frequency of the frequency band combination from the server. Figure 5 It is an interaction schematic diagram of obtaining the usage frequency of the frequency band combination shown according to an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 5 shown, including the following steps:

[0127] Step S501: The terminal device connects to the network device or resumes connecting to the network device;

[0128] Step S502: The terminal device determines whether the time interval since the last receipt of the historical usage record from the server exceeds a preset time interval;

[0129] If the current time interval is greater than the preset time interval, execute Step S503; if the current time interval is less than or equal to the preset time interval, use the locally saved historical usage record.

[0130] Step S503: The terminal device sends a request message to the server;

[0131] The request message includes the Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) information, and the request message is used to obtain the historical usage record of the frequency band combination.

[0132] Step S504: The server obtains the corresponding historical usage record of the frequency band combination from the database according to the PLMN information;

[0133] Step S505: The server sends the historical usage record of the frequency band combination to the terminal device;

[0134] Step S506: The terminal device saves the received historical usage record of the frequency band combination locally and updates the local database.
