Abstract

Claims (42)

1 . A capability sending method, applied to a first base station, the method comprising:

sending capability information of a terminal to a second base station;

acquiring capability information of the second base station solving a multi-card problem; and

sending the capability information for solving the multi-card problem to the terminal.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the terminal is a terminal to be switched from the first base station to the second base station.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

acquiring the capability information of the terminal.

4 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein acquiring the capability information of the terminal comprises:

acquiring the capability information from the terminal; or

acquiring the capability information of the terminal from a core network.

5 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein sending the capability information to the second base station comprises:

sending to the second base station a switching request for the terminal to switch from the first base station to the second base station, wherein the switching request carries the capability information, wherein the capability information is used for the second base station to determine whether to accept the switching request for the terminal to switch from the first base station to the second base station.

6 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the capability information comprises at least one of:

a capability of the terminal supporting multiple cards;

a capability of the terminal reporting the multi-card problem.

7 . The method according to claim 6 , further comprising:

receiving a reason for the second base station to reject the switching request for the terminal to switch from the first base station to the second base station, wherein the reason comprises: a capability of the terminal reporting the multi-card problem not matching with capability information of the second base station solving the multi-card problem.

8 . A capability receiving method, applied to a second base station, the method comprising:

acquiring capability information of a terminal from a first base station; and

sending capability information of the second base station solving a multi-card problem to the first base station, for the first base station to send the capability information for solving the multi-card problem to the terminal.

9 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein the terminal is a terminal to be switched from the first base station to the second base station.

10 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein acquiring capability information of the terminal from the first base station comprises:

receiving a switching request for the terminal to switch from the first base station to the second base station sent by the first base station, wherein the switching request carries the capability information.

11 . The method according to claim 9 , further comprising:

determining, based on the capability information, whether to accept a switching request for the terminal to switch from the first base station to the second base station.

12 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein the capability information comprises at least one of:

a capability of the terminal supporting multiple cards;

a capability of the terminal reporting the multi-card problem.

13 . The method according to claim 12 , wherein determining, based on the capability information, whether to accept the switching request for the terminal to switch from the first base station to the second base station comprises:

accepting the switching request in response to determining that the terminal supports multiple cards and the second base station supports solving the multi-card problem; or

rejecting the switching request in response to determining that the terminal supports multiple cards and the second base station does not support solving the multi-card problem.

14 . The method according to claim 12 , wherein determining, based on the capability information, whether to accept the switching request for the terminal to switch from the first base station to the second base station comprises:

accepting the switching request in response to determining that the capability of the terminal reporting the multi-card problem matches with capability information of the second base station solving the multi-card problem; or

rejecting the switching request in response to determining that the capability of the terminal reporting the multi-card problem does not match with capability information of the second base station solving the multi-card problem.

15 . The method according to claim 14 , wherein

the capability of the terminal reporting the multi-card problem matching with capability information of the second base station solving the multi-card problem comprises: the capability of the terminal reporting the multi-card problem overlapping with the capability of the second base station solving the multi-card problem; or

the capability of the terminal reporting the multi-card problem not matching with capability information of the second base station solving the multi-card problem comprises: the capability of the terminal reporting the multi-card problem completely not overlapping with the capability of the second base station solving the multi-card problem.

16 . The method according to claim 12 , further comprising:

sending a reason for rejecting the switching request to the first base station, wherein the reason comprises: a capability of the terminal reporting the multi-card problem not matching with capability information of the second base station solving the multi-card problem.

17 . A capability sending method, applied to a terminal, the method comprising:

sending capability information of the terminal to a first base station, for the first base station to send the capability information to a second base station; and

receiving capability information for the second base station to solve a multi-card problem sent by the first base station.
