Abstract

A method and an apparatus for reporting a terminal device capability is presented. An apparatus for reporting a terminal device capability includes: a processor configured to obtain D2D capability information of a terminal device; and a transmitter configured to send the D2D capability information of the terminal device to a base station. In the method and the apparatus for reporting a terminal device capability that are provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, a terminal device reports D2D capability information to a base station, so that the base station can correctly schedule a resource for D2D communication of the terminal device.

Claims (16)

1. An apparatus for reporting a terminal device capability, comprising:

a processor configured to obtain device to device (D2D) capability information of a terminal device, wherein the D2D capability information of the terminal device comprises D2D radio frequency capability information of the terminal device, and wherein the D2D radio frequency capability information of the terminal device comprises at least one piece of information about a radio frequency band over which the terminal device supports D2D communication, information about a radio frequency band over which the terminal device supports both D2D communication and cellular communication, or capability information that the terminal device supports both D2D communication and carrier aggregation; and

a transmitter coupled to the processor and configured to send the D2D capability information of the terminal device to a base station.

2. The apparatus for reporting a terminal device capability according to claim 1 , wherein the D2D capability information of the terminal device further comprises D2D feature supporting information of the terminal device.

3. An apparatus for reporting a terminal device capability, comprising:

a receiver configured to receive device to device (D2D) capability information of a terminal device that is sent by the terminal device, wherein the D2D capability information of the terminal device comprises D2D radio frequency capability information of the terminal device, and wherein the D2D radio frequency capability information of the terminal device comprises at least one piece of information about a radio frequency band over which the terminal device supports D2D communication, information about a radio frequency band over which the terminal device supports both D2D communication and cellular communication, or capability information that the terminal device supports both D2D communication and carrier aggregation; and

a processor coupled to the receiver and configured to determine a D2D capability of the terminal device according to the D2D capability information of the terminal device.

4. The apparatus for reporting a terminal device capability according to claim 3 , wherein the D2D capability information of the terminal device further comprises D2D feature supporting information of the terminal device.

5. A method for reporting a terminal device capability, comprising:

obtaining, by a terminal device, device to device (D2D) capability information of the terminal device, wherein the D2D capability information of the terminal device comprises D2D radio frequency capability information of the terminal device, and wherein the D2D radio frequency capability information of the terminal device comprises at least one piece of information about a radio frequency band over which the terminal device supports D2D communication, information about a radio frequency band over which the terminal device supports both D2D communication and cellular communication, or capability information that the terminal device supports both D2D communication and carrier aggregation; and

sending, by the terminal device, the D2D capability information of the terminal device to a base station.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the D2D capability information of the terminal device further comprises D2D feature supporting information of the terminal device.

7. A method for reporting a terminal device capability, comprising:

receiving, by a base station, device to device (D2D) capability information of a terminal device that is sent by the terminal device, wherein the D2D capability information of the terminal device comprises D2D radio frequency capability information of the terminal device, and wherein the D2D radio frequency capability information of the terminal device comprises at least one piece of information about a radio frequency band over which the terminal device supports D2D communication, information about a radio frequency band over which the terminal device supports both D2D communication and cellular communication, or capability information that the terminal device supports both D2D communication and carrier aggregation; and

determining, by the base station, a D2D capability of the terminal device according to the D2D capability information of the terminal device.

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the D2D capability information of the terminal device further comprises D2D feature supporting information of the terminal device.
