US 12,184,562 B2 · Communication method and apparatus

Abstract

This application relates to the field of communication technologies, and discloses a communication method and apparatus. The method includes: The terminal device generates capability information, where the capability information includes an overall frequency separation class of the terminal device, and the overall frequency separation class indicates a maximum frequency separation between a lowest component carrier and a highest component carrier included in an uplink component carrier and a downlink component carrier supported by the terminal device; and the terminal device sends the capability information to the network device.

Dependent claims

A communication method comprising:

generating, by a terminal device, capability information, wherein the capability information comprises an overall frequency separation class of the terminal device, and the overall frequency separation class indicates a maximum frequency separation between a lowest component carrier and a highest component carrier comprised in an uplink component carrier and a downlink component carrier supported by the terminal device;
and
sending, by the terminal device, the capability information to a network device.

A communication apparatus comprising:

at least one processor;
and
a memory storing programming instructions for execution by the at least one processor, the programming instructions instructing the communication apparatus to perform operations comprising:
receiving capability information from a terminal device, wherein the capability information comprises an overall frequency separation class of the terminal device, and the overall frequency separation class indicates a maximum frequency separation between a lowest component carrier and a highest component carrier comprised in an uplink component carrier and a downlink component carrier supported by the terminal device;
and
configuring the uplink component carrier and the downlink component carrier for the terminal device based on the capability information.
