如图2所示,终端设备在网络中通信,需要在初始接入网络时将其通信能力上报给基站,以供基站做相应的调度。由于终端设备的硬件条件一般都是确定的,比如具备确定的功率放大器能力、接收天线数量和发射天线数量等,因此,终端设备上报给网络的通信能力相应的也都是确定的。As shown in Figure 2, when a terminal device communicates in the network, it needs to report its communication capability to the base station when it initially accesses the network, so that the base station can make corresponding scheduling. Since the hardware conditions of the terminal device are generally determined, such as having a certain power amplifier capability, the number of receiving antennas, and the number of transmitting antennas, etc., the communication capabilities reported by the terminal device to the network are correspondingly determined.
基于此,相关技术中,终端的通信能力只在接入网络时上报一次,如果需要做能力的调整,则需要重新发起初始接入流程来进行能力的上报,这种方式需要断掉终端设备与网络当前的连接,影响业务的连续性。Based on this, in related technologies, the communication capability of the terminal is only reported once when it accesses the network. If the capability needs to be adjusted, it is necessary to re-initiate the initial access process to report the capability.

在一些场景中,终端设备的能力信息会发生变化。一个典型的场景为增加或减少终端连接的外部设备。增加或减少终端设备连接的外部设备可能会改变终端的通信能力,例如增加或减少收发天线的数量等。如图3所示,终端设备自身具备一个发射天线,外部设备具备两个发射天线,在终端设备与外部设备连接的情况下,终端设备的通信能力信息将不同于终端设备不连接外部设备时的通信能力。若外部设备与终端设备进行频繁的接通与断开,则会导致终端的通信连接频繁断开。In some scenarios, the capability information of the terminal device will change. A typical scenario is to increase or decrease the external devices connected to the terminal. Increasing or reducing the external devices connected to the terminal device may change the communication capability of the terminal, such as increasing or reducing the number of transmitting and receiving antennas. As shown in Figure 3, the terminal device itself has one transmitting antenna, and the external device has two transmitting antennas. When the terminal device is connected to the external device, the communication capability information of the terminal device will be different from that when the terminal device is not connected to the external device. communication ability.

例如,终端设备可以预先指示多个能力信息。之后,终端设备向网络设备发送能力更新信息,以激活多个能力信息中的第一能力信息,则网络设备 基于第一能力信息更新终端设备存储的终端能力信息(即终端设备的能力信息)。For example, the terminal device may pre-indicate multiple pieces of capability information. Afterwards, the terminal device sends capability update information to the network device to activate the first capability information in the plurality of capability information, and the network device updates the terminal capability information stored in the terminal device based on the first capability information (that is, the capability information of the terminal device).
又例如,每当终端设备的能力变化时,终端设备可以向网络设备发送能力更新信息,以上报变化后的第一能力信息,则网络设备基于第一能力信息更新网络设备存储的终端能力信息。For another example, whenever the capability of the terminal device changes, the terminal device may send capability update information to the network device to report the changed first capability information, and the network device updates the terminal capability information stored in the network device based on the first capability information.
又例如,预先定义第一能力信息。终端设备向网络设备发送能力更新信息时,触发网络设备将预先定义的第一能力信息作为终端能力信息。For another example, the first capability information is predefined.

That is to say, the capability update information may instruct the network device to update the terminal capability information by activating the first capability information or reporting the first capability information.
在一种可选的示例性方式中,终端设备可以在初始接入网络的过程中,例如在空闲态下初始接入网络的过程中,指示多个能力信息。之后,在能力发生变化时激活当前对应的能力信息。也就是说,能力更新信息包括第一能力信息的激活信息,在终端设备向网络设备发送能力更新信息之前,能力指示方法还包括:In an optional exemplary manner, the terminal device may indicate multiple pieces of capability information during initial access to the network, for example, during the initial access to the network in an idle state. Afterwards, when the capability changes, the current corresponding capability information is activated. That is to say, the capability update information includes activation information of the first capability information, and before the terminal device sends the capability update information to the network device, the capability indication method further includes:
终端设备在初始接入网络的过程中,向网络设备发送能力上报信息;During the initial access to the network, the terminal device sends capability reporting information to the network device;

Exemplarily, the default capability information may be capability information of the terminal device when it is not connected to an external device. In addition to the default capability information, the multiple pieces of capability information may also include capability information when one or more terminal devices are connected to external devices, for example, different capability information when the terminal device is connected to different external devices.
例如,终端设备在空闲态下发起初始接入过程,在初始接入过程中发送能力上报信息,以上报多个能力信息。网络设备将多个能力信息中的默认能力信息作为终端设备的能力信息。之后,在连接态或非激活态下,终端设备连接外部设备,能力发生变化,此时,终端设备无需回到空闲状态重新发起初始接入过程,只需发送能力更新信息,激活多个能力信息中与当前能力相符的第一能力信息,则网络设备可以基于第一能力信息更新终端设备的能力信息。For example, the terminal device initiates an initial access process in an idle state, and sends capability report information during the initial access process to report multiple pieces of capability information. The network device uses the default capability information among the pieces of capability information as the capability information of the terminal device. After that, in the connected state or inactive state, the terminal device connects to external devices, and the capability changes. At this time, the terminal device does not need to return to the idle state to re-initiate the initial access process, but only needs to send capability update information to activate multiple capability information If the first capability information is consistent with the current capability, the network device may update the capability information of the terminal device based on the first capability information.

Afterwards, when the capability changes, the changed capability information is indicated/reported. That is to say, the capability update information includes the first capability information, or in other words, the capability update information carries the first capability information. Before the terminal device sends capability update information to the network device, the capability indication method further includes:
终端设备在初始接入网络的过程中,向网络设备发送能力上报信息;During the initial access to the network, the terminal device sends capability reporting information to the network device;
其中,能力上报信息包括第二能力信息,第二能力信息用于确定终端设备初始的能力信息。Wherein, the capability reporting information includes second capability information, and the second capability information is used to determine initial capability information of the terminal device.
相应地,对于网络设备而言,能力指示方法还包括:Correspondingly, for network equipment, the capability indication method also includes:

例如,终端设备在空闲态下发起初始接入过程,此时终端设备未连接有外部设备,终端设备在初始接入过程中发送能力上报信息,以上报表征终端设备自身能力的第二能力信息。网络设备将第二能力信息作为终端设备的能力信息。之后,在连接态或非激活态下,终端设备连接外部设备,能力发生变化,此时,终端设备无需回到空闲态重新发起初始接入过程,只需发送能力更新信息,上报与当前能力相符的第一能力信息,则网络设备可以基于第一能力信息更新终端设备的能力信息。For example, the terminal device initiates an initial access process in an idle state. At this time, the terminal device is not connected to an external device, and the terminal device sends capability report information during the initial access process to report second capability information representing the capability of the terminal device itself. The network device uses the second capability information as capability information of the terminal device. Later, in the connected state or inactive state, the terminal device connects to the external device, and the capability changes. At this time, the terminal device does not need to return to the idle state to re-initiate the initial access process, but only needs to send the capability update information, and the report is consistent with the current capability the first capability information of the terminal device, the network device may update the capability information of the terminal device based on the first capability information.
可选地,本申请实施例还可以包括终端设备在连接态或非激活态下发送能力更新信息的具体实现方式。Optionally, this embodiment of the present application may also include a specific implementation manner in which a terminal device sends capability update information in a connected state or in an inactive state.

网络设备向终端设备发送针对更新请求的回应信息,回应信息用于指示终端设备向网络设备发送能力更新信息。The network device sends response information to the update request to the terminal device, where the response information is used to instruct the terminal device to send capability update information to the network device.
也就是说,在连接态下,终端设备可以先发送更新请求,在网络设备回应的情况下,终端设备再向网络设备发送能力更新信息,以使网络设备基于第一能力信息更新网络设备记录的当前的终端能力信息。可选地,网络设备还可以向终端设备发送用于指示终端能力更新完成的信息。That is to say, in the connected state, the terminal device can first send an update request, and when the network device responds, the terminal device then sends capability update information to the network device, so that the network device can update the information recorded by the network device based on the first capability information. Current terminal capability information. Optionally, the network device may also send information to the terminal device indicating that the update of the terminal capability is completed.

网络设备接收终端设备在非激活态下发送的网络接入信息;其中,网络接入信息包括能力更新信息。The network device receives the network access information sent by the terminal device in an inactive state; wherein the network access information includes capability update information.
也就是说,在非激活态下,由于网络设备仍存储有终端能力信息,终端 设备可以再次接入网络,在网络接入信息中携带能力更新信息,利用能力更新信息指示或激活第一能力信息,使得网络设备基于第一能力信息更新终端能力信息。That is to say, in the inactive state, since the network device still stores terminal capability information, the terminal device can access the network again, carry capability update information in the network access information, and use the capability update information to indicate or activate the first capability information , so that the network device updates the terminal capability information based on the first capability information.
结合上述一种或多种示例可以看到,根据本申请实施例的方法,终端设备通过向网络设备发送能力更新信息,实现更新终端设备的能力信息,无需重新发起初始接入流程并重新上报,可以避免连接中断,保证了业务的连续性。Combining one or more of the above examples, it can be seen that according to the method of the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device can update the capability information of the terminal device by sending capability update information to the network device, without re-initiating the initial access process and re-reporting, Connection interruption can be avoided, ensuring business continuity.
需要说明的是,在本申请的实施例中,一个能力信息可以指示一种或多种通信能力。换句话说,能力信息为多种通信能力的信息组合/集合,因此,能力信息也可以称为能力组合。例如,第一能力信息可以包括功率放大器能力、收发天线数量、是否支持毫米波通信能力等信息。It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, one piece of capability information may indicate one or more communication capabilities. In other words, the capability information is an information combination/collection of multiple communication capabilities, therefore, the capability information may also be called a capability combination. For example, the first capability information may include power amplifier capability, the number of transceiver antennas, whether to support millimeter wave communication capability, and other information.
示例性地,能力更新信息可以在终端的通信能力发生变化时发送。例如在终端设备连接外部设备时发送。若能力更新信息在终端设备连接外部设备时发送,则第一能力信息可以包括外部设备的能力信息,或终端设备连接外部设备时的总能力信息。这里,终端设备连接外部设备时的总能力信息可以是终端设备自身的通信能力和外部设备的通信能力的总和。Exemplarily, the capability update information may be sent when the communication capability of the terminal changes. For example, it is sent when the terminal device is connected to an external device. If the capability update information is sent when the terminal device is connected to the external device, the first capability information may include capability information of the external device, or total capability information when the terminal device is connected to the external device. Here, the total capability information when the terminal device is connected to the external device may be the sum of the communication capability of the terminal device itself and the communication capability of the external device.

其中,终端设备原有的能力信息为终端设备在发送能力更新信息之前的的能力信息,或者说在网络设备接收能力更新信息之前存储的终端能力信息。 示例性地,终端设备原有的能力信息为第二能力信息,例如上述默认能力信息或上述终端设备不连接外部设备时的能力信息。当第一能力信息为第二能力信息的补充时,终端设备向网络设备指示第一能力信息激活,也即此时的终端设备的能力信息为第一能力信息和第二能力信息之和。Wherein, the original capability information of the terminal device is the capability information of the terminal device before sending the capability update information, or the terminal capability information stored before the network device receives the capability update information. Exemplarily, the original capability information of the terminal device is the second capability information, such as the above-mentioned default capability information or the above-mentioned capability information when the terminal device is not connected to an external device. When the first capability information is a supplement to the second capability information, the terminal device indicates to the network device that the first capability information is activated, that is, the capability information of the terminal device at this time is the sum of the first capability information and the second capability information.
例如,外部设备具有毫米波通信能力,而终端设备不具备毫米波通信能力。当外部设备与终端进行连接后,终端设备额外获得了毫米波通信能力,向网络设备发送毫米波通信能力的指示信息,从而网络设备确定终端设备的毫米波通信能力激活。For example, the external device has the millimeter wave communication capability, but the terminal device does not have the millimeter wave communication capability.

示例性地,终端设备原有的能力信息为第二能力信息,例如上述默认能力信息或上述终端设备不连接外部设备时的能力信息。当第一能力信息与第二能力信息包括重叠的能力信息时,终端设备向网络设备指示第一能力信息激活,以指示第一能力信息和第二能力信息合并,终端设备的能力信息为第一能力信息和第二能力信息之和。Exemplarily, the original capability information of the terminal device is the second capability information, such as the above-mentioned default capability information or the above-mentioned capability information when the terminal device is not connected to an external device. When the first capability information and the second capability information include overlapping capability information, the terminal device indicates to the network device that the first capability information is activated to indicate that the first capability information and the second capability information are merged, and the capability information of the terminal device is the first The sum of the capability information and the second capability information.
例如,外部设备具有2个发射天线通信能力,终端设备自身具备1个发射天线通信能力,当外部设备与终端设备进行连接后,终端设备向网络设备发送的能力更新信息指示外部设备的发射天线通信能力,网络设备可以基于终端设备原有的1个发射天线通信能力以及外部设备的2个发射天线通信能力,确定终端设备的总通信能力为3个发射天线通信能力。For example, the external device has two transmit antenna communication capabilities, and the terminal device itself has one transmit antenna communication capability.

示例性地,终端设备原有的能力信息为第二能力信息,例如上述默认能力信息或上述终端设备不连接外部设备时的能力信息。当第一能力信息与第二能力信息包括重叠的能力信息时,终端设备向网络设备指示第一能力信息激活,以指示用第二能力信息替换第二能力,作为终端设备当前的能力信息。Exemplarily, the original capability information of the terminal device is the second capability information, such as the above-mentioned default capability information or the above-mentioned capability information when the terminal device is not connected to an external device. When the first capability information and the second capability information include overlapping capability information, the terminal device indicates to the network device that the first capability information is activated, so as to indicate to replace the second capability with the second capability information as current capability information of the terminal device.

After the external device is connected to the terminal device, the transmitting antenna of the terminal device itself no longer functions, and the communication is performed through the transmitting antenna of the external device. The capability update information sent by the terminal device to the network device indicates the communication capability of the transmitting antenna of the external device. The network device can use the communication capability of the two transmitting antennas of the external device to replace the original communication capability of one transmitting antenna to determine the total communication capability of the terminal device. Capability is 3 transmit antenna communication capabilities.
又例如,外部设备具有2个发射天线通信能力,终端设备自身具备1个发射天线通信能力。当外部设备与终端设备进行连接后,终端设备的总通信能力为3个发射天线通信能力。终端设备向网络设备发送的能力更新信息指示终端设备的总通信能力,网络设备可以使用终端设备的总通信能力(3个发射天线通信能力),替换原有的1个发射天线通信能力。For another example, the external device has two transmit antenna communication capabilities, and the terminal device itself has one transmit antenna communication capability. After the external device is connected to the terminal device, the total communication capability of the terminal device is the communication capability of three transmitting antennas. The capability update information sent by the terminal device to the network device indicates the total communication capability of the terminal device, and the network device can use the total communication capability of the terminal device (3 transmit antenna communication capabilities) to replace the original 1 transmit antenna communication capability.

应用示例二Application example two
在本应用示例中,终端在初始接入网络时,只上报能力组合1,此后在一定条件下(例如终端连接外部设备时,或终端连接外部设备且当前小区支持外部设备的通信能力时),将能力组合2进一步上报网络。In this application example, when the terminal initially accesses the network, it only reports capability combination 1, and then under certain conditions (such as when the terminal is connected to an external device, or when the terminal is connected to an external device and the current cell supports the communication capability of the external device), Report capability combination 2 further to the network.
