Abstract

A method for terminal configuration, a terminal device, and a network device are provided in the disclosure. The method for terminal configuration includes the following. The network device receives at least two sets of communication capabilities reported by a terminal device in an initial access procedure of the terminal device. The network device receives capability indication information transmitted by the terminal device, where the capability indication information indicates the network device to perform terminal configuration according to a first set of communication capabilities among the at least two sets of communication capabilities. The network device performs the terminal configuration according to the first set of communication capabilities.

Claims (51)

1 . A method for terminal configuration, being applied to a network device and comprising:

receiving, by the network device, at least two sets of communication capabilities reported by a terminal device in an initial access procedure of the terminal device;

receiving, by the network device, capability indication information transmitted by the terminal device, the capability indication information indicating the network device to perform terminal configuration according to a first set of communication capabilities among the at least two sets of communication capabilities; and

performing, by the network device, the terminal configuration according to the first set of communication capabilities;

wherein the at least two sets of communication capabilities comprise a set of default communication capabilities, and the set of default communication capabilities are used for the network device to perform the terminal configuration according to the set of default communication capabilities on condition that the network device fails to receive the capability indication information.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the at least two sets of communication capabilities are in one-to-one correspondence with at least two operating states of the terminal device, and the first set of communication capabilities corresponds to a current operating state of the terminal device.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the at least two operating states comprise at least two of:

a single-band transmission and/or reception state, a multi-band simultaneous transmission and/or reception state, a single-operator-network access state, a multi-operator-network simultaneous access state, a high-speed moving state, or a low-speed moving state.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the at least two sets of communication capabilities comprise at least two sets of power class (PC) capabilities; and/or

the at least two sets of communication capabilities comprise at least two sets of multiple input multiple output (MIMO) capabilities.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the terminal device comprises a multi-card terminal device.

6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, by the network device, first information transmitted by the terminal device, wherein the first information indicates the network device to update a communication capability of the terminal device.

7 . A terminal device, comprising:

a transceiver;

a memory configured to store computer programs; and

a processor configured to invoke and execute the computer programs stored in the memory to:

report at least two sets of communication capabilities to a network device in an initial access procedure; and

cause the transceiver to transmit capability indication information to the network device, the capability indication information indicating the network device to perform terminal configuration according to a first set of communication capabilities among the at least two sets of communication capabilities;

wherein the at least two sets of communication capabilities comprise a set of default communication capabilities, and the set of default communication capabilities are used for the network device to perform the terminal configuration according to the set of default communication capabilities on condition that the network device fails to receive the capability indication information.

8 . A network device, comprising:

a transceiver;

a memory configured to store computer programs; and

a processor configured to invoke and execute the computer programs stored in the memory to:

cause the transceiver to receive at least two sets of communication capabilities reported by a terminal device in an initial access procedure of the terminal device;

cause the transceiver to receive capability indication information transmitted by the terminal device, the capability indication information indicating the network device to perform terminal configuration according to a first set of communication capabilities among the at least two sets of communication capabilities; and

perform the terminal configuration according to the first set of communication capabilities;

wherein the at least two sets of communication capabilities comprise a set of default communication capabilities, and the set of default communication capabilities are used for the network device to perform the terminal configuration according to the set of default communication capabilities on condition that the network device fails to receive the capability indication information.

9 . The terminal device of claim 7 , wherein:

the at least two sets of communication capabilities are in one-to-one correspondence with at least two operating states of the terminal device, and the first set of communication capabilities corresponds to a current operating state of the terminal device.

10 . The terminal device of claim 9 , wherein the at least two operating states comprise at least two of:

a single-band transmission and/or reception state, a multi-band simultaneous transmission and/or reception state, a single-operator-network access state, a multi-operator-network simultaneous access state, a high-speed moving state, or a low-speed moving state.

11 . The terminal device of claim 7 , wherein:

the at least two sets of communication capabilities comprise at least two sets of power class (PC) capabilities; and/or

the at least two sets of communication capabilities comprise at least two sets of multiple input multiple output (MIMO) capabilities.

12 . The terminal device of claim 7 , wherein:

the terminal device comprises a multi-card terminal device.

13 . The network device of claim 8 , wherein:

the at least two sets of communication capabilities are in one-to-one correspondence with at least two operating states of the terminal device, and the first set of communication capabilities corresponds to a current operating state of the terminal device.

14 . The network device of claim 13 , wherein the at least two operating states comprise at least two of:

a single-band transmission and/or reception state, a multi-band simultaneous transmission and/or reception state, a single-operator-network access state, a multi-operator-network simultaneous access state, a high-speed moving state, or a low-speed moving state.

15 . The network device of claim 8 , wherein:

the at least two sets of communication capabilities comprise at least two sets of power class (PC) capabilities; and/or

the at least two sets of communication capabilities comprise at least two sets of multiple input multiple output (MIMO) capabilities.

16 . The network device of claim 8 , wherein:

the terminal device comprises a multi-card terminal device.

17 . The network device of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to cause the transceiver to:

receive first information transmitted by the terminal device, wherein the first information indicates the network device to update a communication capability of the terminal device.
