具体实施方式
下面详细描述本公开的实施例，所述实施例的示例在附图中示出，其中自始至终相同或类似的标号表示相同或类似的元件或具有相同或类似功能的元件。下面通过参考附图描述的实施例是示例性的，旨在用于解释本公开，而不能理解为对本公开的限制。
为了更好的理解本申请实施例公开的设备能力信息上报方法及装置，下面首先对本申请实施例适用的通信***进行描述。
本申请实施例的技术方案可以应用于各种通信***。例如：长期演进(long term evolution，LTE)***、第五代(5th generation，5G)移动通信***、5G新空口(new radio，NR)***，或者其他未来的新型移动通信***等。
本申请中，载波，从物理层角度来看，可以是用来承载信息的载体。载波占用一定的频率范围(例如以中心频点和带宽来表征的频率范围)。小区，从高层资源管理角度来看，可以是对无线通信进行管理的单元。小区可以包括载波。根据不同的双工方式，一个小区的下行载波和上行载波可以不同(如频分双工(FDD，frequency division duplex)***中)，一个小区的下行载波和上行载波也可以相同(如时分双工(TDD，time division duplex)***中)。在载波聚合/双链接中，部分小区可以同时包含下行载波和上行载波，部分小区可以仅包含下行载波。具有相同载波的小区之间可以通过小区部署的方位角的不同来避免干扰。
请参见图1，图1为本申请实施例提供的一种通信***的架构示意图。该通信***可包括但不限于一个网络设备、一个用户设备和一个智能中继设备，图1所示的设备数量和形态仅用于举例并不构成对本申请实施例的限定，实际应用中可以包括两个或两个以上的网络设备、两个或两个以上的用户设备、两个或两个以上的智能中继设备。图1所 示的通信***以包括一个网络设备101、一个用户设备102以及一个智能中继设备103为例。
网络设备101可以通过智能中继设备103，实现与用户设备102的通信。该网络设备101与智能中继设备103之间可以通过无线通信接口，如LTE Uu口或者NR Uu口，进行通信。LTE Uu口或者NR Uu口可以指蜂窝通信***中无线接入网(RAN，radio access network)设备和终端设备之间的无线通信接口。智能中继设备103与用户设备102之间可以通过无线直连通信接口，如PC5口，进行通信。PC5口可以指终端设备之间进行直接通信的无线通信接口，通过PC5口，终端设备之间可以不需要经过蜂窝通信网络转发数据，从而实现直接交互数据。智能中继设备103与用户设备102之间可以通过微波，WiFi或者蓝牙等进行通信。网络设备101还可以通过无线通信接口直接和用户设备102进行通信。需要说明的是，图1所示网络架构仅为示例性架构图，除图1所示网络功能实体外，图1所示通信***还可以包括其他功能实体，如：核心网网元、更多的用户设备或者中继设备等，本申请不予限制。另外，图1中是以用户设备102在网络设备101的覆盖范围边缘或者之外为例，用户设备102也可以是在网络设备101覆盖范围边缘或者之内。例如用户设备102和网络设备101之间可能是没有合适的通信资源，或者用户设备102和网络设备10之间的通信资源没有智能中继设备103和网络设备10间的通信资源好(示例性的，通信资源的好坏可以采用信道质量进行衡量)，此时用户设备102就可以通过智能中继设备103，实现与网络设备10的通信。
图1的网络设备101是网络侧的一种用于发射或接收信号的实体。例如，网络设备101可以为演进型基站(evolved NodeB，eNB)、传输点(transmission reception point，TRP)、NR***中的下一代基站(next generation NodeB，gNB)、其他未来移动通信***中的基站或无线保真(wireless fidelity，WiFi)***中的接入节点等。本申请的实施例对网络设备所采用的具体技术和具体设备形态不做限定。本申请实施例提供的网络设备可以是由集中单元(central unit，CU)与分布式单元(distributed unit，DU)组成的，其中，CU也可以称为控制单元(control unit)，采用CU-DU的结构可以将网络设备，例如基站的协议层拆分开，部分协议层的功能放在CU集中控制，剩下部分或全部协议层的功能分布在DU中，由CU集中控制DU。
图1中的用户设备102是用户侧的一种用于接收或发射信号的实体，如手机。用户设备(user equipment，UE)也可以称为终端设备(terminal)、移动台(mobile station，MS)、移动终端设备(mobile terminal，MT)等。用户设备可以是具备通信功能的汽车、智能汽车、手机(mobile phone)、穿戴式设备、平板电脑(Pad)、带无线收发功能的电脑、虚拟现实(virtual reality，VR)终端设备、增强现实(augmented reality，AR)终端设备、工业控制(industrial control)中的无线终端设备、无人驾驶(self-driving)中的无线终端设备、远程手术(remote medical surgery)中的无线终端设备、智能电网(smart grid)中的无线终端设备、运输安全(transportation safety)中的无线终端设备、智慧城市(smart city)中的无线终端设备、智慧家庭(smart home)中的无线终端设备等等。本申请的实施例对用户设备所采用的具体技术和具体设备形态不做限定。
图1中的智能中继设备103可以为任意一种至少能定向放大信号的网络设备，或者，具有定向放大信号功能的终端设备。我们可以称之为“受网络控制的中继设备”、“能定向放大信号的中继设备”、“智能中继设备”、“网络辅助的中继设备”、“可控制的中继设备”等等，以下以“智能中继设备”代指。
智能超表面(RIS，reconfigurable intelligent surface)，也被称为“可重构智能表面”或者“智能反射表面”。从外表上看，RIS是一张平平无奇的薄板。但是，它可以灵活部署在无线通信传播环境中，并实现对反射或者折射电磁波的频率、相位、极化等特征的操控，从而达到重塑无线信道的目的。具体地说，RIS可以通过预编码技术，将入射到其表面的信号反射到特定的方向，从而增强接收端信号强度，实现对信道的控制。
由于智能中继设备和RIS在网络交互时具有类似的特性，因此，本公开中，智能中继设备，代指智能中继设备和RIS。
本公开实施例中的智能中继设备103是网络设备101与终端设备102之间用于发射或接收信号的实体。例如，智能中继设备103可以为网络单元，也可以为具有中继功能的终端设备，还可以为智能超表面RIS。本公开的实施例对智能中继设备所采用的具体技术和具体设备形态不做限定。
可以理解的是，本申请实施例描述的通信***是为了更加清楚的说明本申请实施例的技术方案，并不构成对于本申请实施例提供的技术方案的限定，本领域普通技术人员可知，随着***架构的演变和新业务场景的出现，本申请实施例提供的技术方案对于类似的技术问题，同样适用。
经智能中继设备放大后的信号的可使用载波单元的个数、频率范围等会受到智能中继设备的设备能力的影响，因此，获知智能中继设备的设备能力信息成为一种迫切需求。
为此，本公开提出了一种设备能力信息上报方法及装置，智能中继设备能够将其设备能力信息上报给网络设备，从而网络设备能够根据智能中继设备的设备能力信息为用户设备分配合适的通信资源。
下面结合附图对本申请所提供的设备能力信息上报方法及装置进行详细地介绍。
图2示出了根据本公开实施例的一种设备能力信息上报方法的流程示意图。如图2所示，该方法可由智能中继设备执行，且包括以下步骤。
S201，向网络设备发送设备能力信息，其中，设备能力信息指示智能中继设备的频率响应能力，包括至少一组频率响应参数。
在本申请中，智能中继设备可以将其设备能力信息发送给网络设备，以便网络设备根据该智能中继设备来为通过该智能中继设备转发信号的网络设备分配合适的通信资源。
智能中继设备的设备能力信息用于指示智能中继设备的频率响应能力，并且可以包括至少一组频率响应参数。该频率响应能力也可以反映智能中继设备的载波聚合能力。
在一些实施例中，每组频率响应参数包括以下频率相关参数中的至少一个：可支持频带；可支持频带组合；可支持最大连续载波聚合数；可支持最大连续载波聚合累积带宽；可支持不连续载波聚合之间的频率间隔；可支持带通范围；以及可支持频率搬移能力。
在一些实施例中，频率相关参数由一个或多个固定值或范围值指示。
例如，智能中继设备可以向网络设备上报一组频率响应参数，包括以下频率相关参数中的一个或多个：
1、可支持频带
可支持频带例如可以通过NR频带编号指示，该参数可以针对每频带(per band)定义，该参数可以是强制(mandatory)上报的；
可支持频带可以由一个或多个固定值来指示，例如通过频带编号1、11、21；或者，可支持频带也可以由一个或多个范围值来指示，例如频带编号小于20的所有频带、频带编号大于30小于40的所有频带。
2、可支持频带组合
与可支持频带类似，该参数可以针对每频带定义，该参数可以是强制上报的；
可支持频带组合也可以由一个或多个范围值来指示，例如频带组合1、频带组合2、频带组合4。其中频带组合1指示{频带1-频带5}，以及频带组合2指示{频带11-频带15}、频带组合4指示{频带31-频带35}。
3、可支持最大连续载波聚合/多载波的个数
该参数可以针对每频带定义，表示每个频带上可连续调度的最大载波聚合数，该参数可以是不强制上报的；
可支持最大连续载波聚合数可以由固定值来指示，例如8个。

与可支持最大连续载波聚合数类似，该参数可以针对每频带定义，表示每个频带上可连续调度的最大载波聚合带宽，该参数可以是不强制上报的；
可支持最大载波聚合累积带宽可以由固定值来指示，例如800MHZ；或者，可支持最大载波聚合累积带宽可以由范围值来指示，例如可以预定义多个不同等级，例如等级A指示0-400MHZ、等级B指示400MHz-800MHZ、等级C指示800MHz-1200MHz，当可支持最大载波聚合累积带宽由等级B来指示时，表明可支持最大载波聚合累积带宽为800MHZ，基站可以实现400MHz～800MHz之间连续载波调度。
5、可支持不连续载波聚合之间的频率间隔
该参数可以针对每频带组合(per band combination)中的每个频带或每特征集合(per feature set)定义，该参数可以是不强制上报或者条件强制上报(即在某些条件下是强制上报)的，例如智能中继设备可以包括类终端部分(mobile terminal part)以及中继部分(repeater part)，对于智能中继设备的中继部分，该参数是强制上报的，此外，该参数可以区分FR1频段和FR2频段，其中FR1频段和FR2频段为5G网络中主要使用的两段频率，FR1频段的频率范围为450MHZ-6GHZ，又称为6GHZ以下频段，而FR2频段的频率范围为24.25GHZ-52.6GHZ，通常被称为毫米波。例如，对于FR1频段，该参数可以由范围值来指示，例如可以预定义多个不同等级，例如等级1指示不连续载波聚合之间的频率间隔小于等于100MHZ，等级2指示不连续载波聚合之间的频率间隔大于100MHZ小于等于200MHZ，等级3指示不连续载波聚合之间的频率间隔大于200MHZ小于等于600MHZ，当可支持不连续载波聚合之间的频率间隔由等级3来指示时，表明可支持不连续载波聚合之间的频率间隔大于200MHZ小于等于600MHZ；又例如，对于FR2频段，该参数可以由固定值来指示，该固定值指不连续载波聚合中的对应最小频率的载波单元的频率下边界与对应最大频率的载波单元的频率上边界之间的频率间隔，例如2GHZ。
6、可支持带通范围
该参数可以针对每频带组合(per band combination)中的每个频带或每特征集合(per feature set)定义，该参数可以是不强制上报或者条件强制上报(即在某些条件下是强制上报)的，例如，对于智能中继设备的中继部分，该参数是强制上报的。
可支持带通范围可以由一个或多个范围值来指示，，例如带通范围1、带通范围2。其中带通范围1指示400MHZ-800MHZ的频带范围，以及带通范围2指示2.5GHZ-4.3GHZ的频带范围。
7、可支持频率搬移能力
