Abstract

A communication method and apparatus. The communication method includes reporting a capability parameter set, in which the capability parameter set represents information on a capability supported by the terminal; and receiving first schedule information sent by a network device, in which the first schedule information includes second schedule information corresponding to a capability parameter subset, and the capability parameter subset includes a capability parameter matching a business requirement of the terminal in the capability parameter set.

Claims (38)

1. A communication method, performed by a terminal, comprising:

reporting a capability parameter set, wherein the capability parameter set represents information on a capability supported by the terminal; and

receiving first schedule information sent by a network device, wherein the first schedule information is determined based on the capability parameter set and a business requirement, the business requirement is sent to the network device by the terminal or there is the business requirement determined by the network device, wherein the first schedule information comprises second schedule information corresponding to a capability parameter subset, and the capability parameter subset comprises a capability parameter matching an actual application scenario in the capability parameter set, wherein the actual application scenario comprises a low speed rate and high delay scenario, wherein the capability parameter set comprises a bandwidth capability and an antenna capability supported by the terminal,

wherein the capability parameter set further comprises at least one of the following:

a capability related to a maximum transmitting power level, a duplex mode supporting capability, a capability related to a minimum processing delay, a carrier aggregation supporting capability, a dual connection supporting capability, a discontinuous reception capability, a mini-slot scheduling capability, a measurement conditional relaxation supporting capability, a full mobility supporting capability and a speech supporting capability.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the capability parameter set further comprises at least one of:

a coverage enhancement supporting capability, and a capability related to a maximum number of physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) blind detections.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein there is a business requirement determined based on the actual application scenario, and the business requirement comprises at least one of the following:

a full mobility requirement, a power saving requirement, a coverage enhancement requirement, a speech supporting requirement, and a high rate requirement.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first schedule information comprises at least one of parameter configuration information and function enabling information.

5. A communication method, performed by a network device, comprising:

determining a business requirement, wherein the business requirement is sent by the terminal or there is the business requirement determined by the network device;

obtaining a capability parameter set, wherein the capability parameter set represents information on a capability supported by a terminal; and

determining and sending first schedule information based on the capability parameter set and the business requirement, wherein the first schedule information comprises second schedule information corresponding to a capability parameter subset, and the capability parameter subset comprises a capability parameter matching an actual application scenario in the capability parameter set, wherein the actual application scenario comprises a low speed rate and high delay scenario,

wherein the capability parameter set comprises a bandwidth capability and an antenna capability supported by the terminal,

wherein the capability parameter set further comprises at least one of the following: a capability related to a maximum transmitting power level, a duplex mode supporting capability, a capability related to a minimum processing delay, a carrier aggregation supporting capability, a dual connection supporting capability, a discontinuous reception capability, a mini-slot scheduling capability, a measurement conditional relaxation supporting capability, a full mobility supporting capability and a speech supporting capability.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the first schedule information comprises at least one of parameter configuration information and function enabling information.

7. A network device, comprising:

a processor;

a memory storing instructions executable by the processor;

wherein, the processor is configured to perform the communication method of claim 5 .

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the capability parameter set further comprises at least one of:

a coverage enhancement supporting capability, and a capability related to a maximum number of physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) blind detections.

9. The method of claim 5 , wherein there is a business requirement determined based on the actual application scenario, and the business requirement comprises at least one of the following: a full mobility requirement, a power saving requirement, a coverage enhancement requirement, a speech supporting requirement, and a high rate requirement.

10. A communication device, comprising:

a processor;

a memory storing instructions executable by the processor;

wherein, the processor is configured to perform a communication method, comprising:

reporting a capability parameter set, wherein the capability parameter set represents information on a capability supported by a terminal; and

receiving first schedule information sent by a network device, wherein the first schedule information is determined based on the capability parameter set and a business requirement, the business requirement is sent to the network device by the terminal or there is the business requirement determined by the network device, wherein the first schedule information comprises second schedule information corresponding to a capability parameter subset, and the capability parameter subset comprises a capability parameter matching an actual application scenario in the capability parameter set, wherein the actual application scenario comprises a low speed rate and high delay scenario,

wherein the capability parameter set comprises a bandwidth capability and an antenna capability supported by the terminal,

wherein the capability parameter set further comprises at least one of the following:

a capability related to a maximum transmitting power level, a duplex mode supporting capability, a capability related to a minimum processing delay, a carrier aggregation supporting capability, a dual connection supporting capability, a discontinuous reception capability, a mini-slot scheduling capability, a measurement conditional relaxation supporting capability, a full mobility supporting capability and a speech supporting capability.

11. The device of claim 10 , wherein the capability parameter set further comprises at least one of:

a coverage enhancement supporting capability, and a capability related to a maximum number of physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) blind detections.

12. The device of claim 10 , wherein there is a business requirement determined based on the actual application scenario, and the business requirement comprises at least one of the following:

a full mobility requirement, a power saving requirement, a coverage enhancement requirement, a speech supporting requirement, and a high rate requirement.

13. The device of claim 10 , wherein the first schedule information comprises at least one of parameter configuration information and function enabling information.
