User equipment 102 is configured to support carrier aggregation, and user equipment 102 may be connected to multiple carrier elements of network equipment 101, including one primary carrier element and one or more secondary carrier elements.

It should be appreciated that the above wireless communication system 100 is applicable to both low frequency and high frequency scenarios. Application scenarios of the wireless communication system 100 include, but are not limited to, long term evolution (long term evolution, LTE) systems, LTE frequency division duplex (frequency division duplex, FDD) systems, LTE time division duplex (time division duplex, TDD) systems, worldwide interoperability for microwave access (worldwide interoperability for micro wave access, wiMAX) communication systems, cloud radio access network (cloud radio access network, CRAN) systems, future fifth Generation (5 th-Generation, 5G) systems, new Radio (NR) communication systems, or future evolved public land mobile network (public land mobile network, PLMN) systems, and the like.

The user equipment 102 shown above may be a User Equipment (UE), a terminal, an access terminal, a terminal unit, a terminal station, a Mobile Station (MS), a remote station, a remote terminal, a mobile terminal (mobile terminal), a wireless communication device, a terminal proxy, a user equipment, or the like. The user device 102 may be provided with wireless transceiver functionality capable of communicating (e.g., wirelessly communicating) with one or more network devices 101 of one or more communication systems and receiving network services provided by the network devices 101, where the network devices 101 include, but are not limited to, the illustrated base stations.

The user device 102 may be, among other things, a cellular telephone, a cordless telephone, a session initiation protocol (session initiation protocol, SIP) phone, a wireless local loop (wireless local loop, WLL) station, a personal digital assistant (personal digital assistant) personal digital assistant, a PDA) device, a handheld device with wireless communication capabilities, a computing device or other processing device connected to a wireless modem, an in-vehicle device, a wearable device, a user device in a future 5G network or a user device in a future evolved PLMN network, etc.

The network device 101 may be an access network device (or access network site). The access network device refers to a device that provides a network access function, such as a radio access network (radio access network, RAN) base station, etc. The network device may specifically include a Base Station (BS) device, or include a base station device, a radio resource management device for controlling the base station device, and the like.

For example, network device 101 includes, but is not limited to: a next generation base station (gnodeB, gNB) in 5G, an evolved node B (eNB) in LTE system, a radio network controller (radio network controller, RNC), a Node B (NB) in WCDMA system, a radio controller under CRAN system, a base station controller (basestation controller, BSC), a base transceiver station (base transceiver station, BTS) in GSM system or CDMA system, a home base station (e.g., home evolved nodeB, or home node B, HNB), a baseband unit (BBU), a transmission point (transmitting and receiving point, TRP), a transmission point (transmitting point, TP), a mobile switching center, or the like.

In some possible embodiments, the UE supports a BWP switch latency of Type1 and a BWP switch latency of Type2, and the BWP switch latency of Type1 and the BWP switch latency of Type2 may be determined by table 1.

TABLE 1

Regarding the BWP switch latency of Type2, if the BWP switch includes an SCS change, the BWP switch latency is determined by the smaller SCS of the SCS before the BWP switch and the SCS after the BWP switch.

Two frequencies mainly used by the 5G network are FR1 and FR2, wherein the frequency range of the FR1 frequency band is 450MHz-6GHz, also called sub 6GHz frequency band; the frequency range of the FR2 band is 24.25GHz-52.6GHz, commonly referred to as the millimeter wave (mmWave) band.

In the FR2 scenario, for a UE supporting only Type2 capability, the BWP switching delay of FR2 is too long, and if dynamic BWP switching is performed, the current BWP switching delay of Type2 greatly affects throughput performance. It is therefore necessary to reduce the BWP handover delay of the UE in the FR2 scenario.

An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for transmitting a capability of a user equipment, and fig. 2 is a flowchart of a method for transmitting a capability of a user equipment, as shown in fig. 2, and the method includes steps S201 to S202, specifically:

The specific representation of bwp-SwitchingDelay is:

bwp-SwitchingDelay ENUMERATED{}

when the value of the BWP-SwitchingDelay parameter corresponds to Type1, it indicates that the BWP switching delay of Type1 is supported in the FR1 band or the FR2 band, and at the same time indicates that the enhanced bandwidth portion BWP switching delay is not supported in the FR2 band.

When the value of the BWP-SwitchingDelay parameter corresponds to Type2, it indicates that the BWP switching delay of Type2 is supported in the FR1 band or the FR2 band, and at the same time indicates that the enhanced bandwidth portion BWP switching delay is not supported in the FR2 band.

When the value of the BWP-SwitchingDelay parameter corresponds to Type3, it indicates that the enhanced bandwidth portion BWP switching delay is supported in the FR2 band.

Since the BWP switch delay of Type1 corresponds to the highest capability UE, the BWP switch delay of the third Type, type3, is smaller than the BWP switch delay of the second Type, type2, and greater than the BWP switch delay of the first Type, type 1.

In some possible embodiments, the user equipment sends bandwidth part BWP handover capability indication information to the network device, including: and sending FR2BWP switching delay capability indication signaling to the network equipment, wherein the FR2BWP switching delay capability indication signaling comprises the BWP switching capability indication information.
