TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular to a capability information processing method, apparatus, and base station. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The Long Term Evolution Advance (LTE-A) system provides a higher data rate for mobile users. Carrier Aggregation (CA) is proposed. In LTE, the maximum downlink transmission bandwidth supported by the system is 20 MHz. Carrier aggregation is to aggregate two or more component carriers (CCs) to support transmission bandwidths greater than 20 MHz and no more than 100 MHz. The base station assigns a primary component carrier (Primary Component Carrier, PCC) or a primary serving cell (Pcell) to the UE through explicit configuration or protocol agreement. The other component carriers are called secondary component carriers (Secondary Component Carriers). It is SCC) or a secondary serving cell (Scell). An LTE-A UE with carrier aggregation capability can transmit and receive data on multiple component carriers at the same time. The UEs involved below are all such UEs unless otherwise specified.

It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other without conflict. In this embodiment, a capability information processing method is provided. FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a capability information processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the process includes the following steps: Step S202: Receive capability information reported by the terminal, where the capability information includes information used to indicate whether the terminal supports cell aggregation with different subframe configurations, and/or whether the terminal supports the same subframe in carrier aggregation. Sending the received information; Step S204, determining a carrier aggregation capability of the terminal according to the capability information. Through the foregoing steps, according to the capability information reported by the terminal, the base station can obtain information about whether the terminal supports the carrier aggregation of the cells with different subframe configurations, and/or whether the terminal supports the simultaneous transmission and reception of information in the same subframe during carrier aggregation. It not only provides a reference for the base station to configure carrier aggregation according to the capability information of the terminal, but also provides a possibility for subsequently utilizing the existing network to improve the transmission bandwidth of the terminal. In the process of receiving the capability information reported by the terminal, multiple processing methods may be used. For example, the simplest is the capability information of directly combining the frequency bands of the carriers supported by the terminal (including the carrier in the case of each frequency band combination). Whether the information of carrier aggregation for each cell with different subframe configurations is supported during aggregation, and/or whether the terminal supports simultaneous transmission and reception of information in the same subframe during carrier aggregation) is directly sent to the base station, but is directly transmitted in this manner. The processing method requires a large amount of bandwidth resources, and a large number of transmissions are very unnecessary or very redundant. For example, the capability information of all frequency band combinations can be derived from the capability information of the partial frequency band combination, or Therefore, when receiving the capability information reported by the terminal, the terminal may first receive one or more frequency band combination information of the terminal support carrier aggregation, and receive the capability information of the partial frequency band combination in the one or more frequency band combinations (including the terminal). In the case of these band combinations Whether the carrier aggregation information of each cell having different subframe configurations is supported during carrier aggregation, and/or whether the terminal supports transmitting and receiving information simultaneously in the same subframe during carrier aggregation); and then according to the received partial frequency band combination The capability information acquisition terminal supports capability information of one or more frequency bands of carrier aggregation. After determining the carrier aggregation capability of the terminal according to the capability information, the carrier aggregation may be configured for the terminal according to the determining the carrier aggregation capability, for example, determining, according to the carrier aggregation capability of the terminal, a cell corresponding to each frequency band that can perform carrier aggregation for the terminal, and Whether the frequency band determined by the above determines the performance of the terminal, and considering various factors affecting the configuration of the carrier frequency aggregation, the cell corresponding to the frequency band capable of performing carrier aggregation for the terminal is determined, and then the carrier aggregation is configured for the terminal. In the embodiment, a capability information processing method is also provided. FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a capability information processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, the process includes the following steps: Step S302: Received from Request information of the base station for requesting reporting capability information; In step S304, the capability information of the terminal is reported to the base station according to the request information, where the force information includes information indicating whether the terminal supports carrier aggregation of cells with different subframe configurations, and/or whether the terminal is in carrier aggregation. Supports sending received information simultaneously in the same subframe. After receiving the capability report request sent by the base station, the terminal may report, to the base station, information indicating whether the terminal supports cell aggregation with different subframe configurations, and/or whether the terminal is aggregated during carrier aggregation. The capability information for transmitting the received information in the same subframe is not only provided for the base station to support whether the terminal supports aggregation of cells with different subframe configurations, but also provides a possibility for improving the transmission bandwidth of the terminal. When receiving the request information, the terminal may directly send all the capability information of the carrier aggregation supported by the terminal (that is, the information of one or more frequency bands combined by the terminal to support the carrier aggregation) to the base station, and may also support the carrier aggregation according to the terminal. The capability information of all frequency band combinations extracts capability information of a partial frequency band combination in which capability information of the entire frequency band combination can be derived, and then the capability information of the extracted partial frequency band combination is reported to the base station. For example, it may be implemented by using such a process: first, determining one or more frequency band combinations in which the terminal supports carrier aggregation; determining capability information of a partial frequency band combination for acquiring capability information of one or more frequency bands in which the terminal supports carrier aggregation The capability information of the determined partial frequency band combination is reported to the base station. With such a processing method, the transmission bandwidth between the terminal and the base station can be saved to some extent. When determining capability information for partial frequency band combination for acquiring capability information of one or more frequency bands in which the terminal supports carrier aggregation, the capability information of each frequency band combination may be summarized, and a partial frequency band capable of obtaining capability information of all frequency band combinations may be obtained. Preferably, the following processing manners may be adopted. For example, the frequency band combination is first grouped according to the number of frequency bands included in the frequency band combination. For example, the terminal supports three frequency bands for carrier aggregation, and will support A frequency band is aggregated into a first group, and two bands are aggregated to be divided into a second group, and a frequency band combination for supporting three frequency bands to be aggregated is divided into a third group, etc.; Whether the capability of the included frequency band combination is inconsistent; when performing this step, the capability of the above two aspects of the capability information of the band combination (whether or not the cell with different subframe configurations is supported for carrier aggregation, and whether simultaneous transmission is supported) Receive) are judged, for example, in support of two In the case where the frequency band is aggregated (ie, the second group), there are three frequency band combinations, and each combination includes two frequency bands, and the three frequency band combinations include the above two aspects of capability information, as long as one of the frequency band combinations corresponds to The capability information corresponding to the other frequency band combinations is inconsistent, that is, the capabilities corresponding to the three frequency band combinations are not completely consistent, and the frequency band combination included in the second group is determined to be the partial frequency band combination to be transmitted, that is, in the judgment In the case of YES, it is determined that the band combinations included in the group in which the capability information is inconsistent are combined into partial band combinations.

The method and the device for performing the carrier aggregation capability when the terminal is configured to report different TDD subframe configurations according to the foregoing embodiments and the preferred embodiments, where the carrier aggregation of different TDD cells is configured for the subframe, and the supported subframe configuration of the terminal is different. The TDD cell performs the capability information of the carrier aggregation (that is, the foregoing capability information), and the information may include one or more frequency band combination identifiers, and each frequency band combination identifier corresponds to whether the TDD cell with different subframe configuration is supported for carrier aggregation. The indication of whether the same subframe supports the simultaneous transmission and reception indicates whether the terminal supports carrier aggregation between TDD cells with different subframe configurations, and if the support also indicates whether the same subframe supports simultaneous transmission and reception. For the case where carrier aggregation is not supported between TDD cells with different subframe configurations (in this case, whether to support simultaneous transmission and reception in the same subframe has no practical meaning), it may not be listed in the newly added capability information. When the capability information of the terminal is reported, the capability may be reported according to the identifier of the partial hetero-band combination, where the partial-band combined identifier (partial band combination identifier) refers to that the terminal supports the maximum of n different frequency bands for carrier aggregation. If the capacity is inconsistent in the carrier aggregation of the nk hetero-bands, that is, some nk different-band combinations support the foregoing capabilities, and some of them do not support, then the terminal only needs to report the capability information when the nk different-band combinations are reported. If both are supported, only the n different frequency bands need to be reported for carrier aggregation. Capability information. That is, as long as the capability information of all the frequency band combinations of the carrier aggregation supported by the terminal is obtained according to the partial frequency band combination identifier, the partial frequency band combination identifier can be directly reported, and then the base station derives all the frequency bands according to the partial frequency band combination identifier. Combined capability information. Through the above-mentioned embodiments and the preferred embodiments, the base station can obtain the capability of performing carrier aggregation when the terminal supports different TDD subframe configurations, and then can configure carrier aggregation for the terminal according to the capability. FIG. 11 is a flowchart of capability information processing according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 11, the process includes the following steps: Step S1102: A user terminal UE interacts with a base station eNB to complete establishment of an RRC connection. Step S1104: UE and The eNB completes the capability query process according to the capability query process of the related technology. In step S1106, the eNB configures carrier aggregation according to the acquired terminal capability. In step S1108, the eNB configures the UE by using RRC reconfiguration signaling. The following describes the embodiments and preferred embodiments of the present invention by combining the above two steps: UE1 and UE2 report performance information. The eNB has four cells, the carrier frequency of Celll is the fl-home frequency band 33, the carrier frequency of Cell2 is the G-home frequency band 34, the carrier frequency of CelB is the β-home frequency band 35, and the carrier frequency of Cell4 is the f4 home frequency band 36. Celll, Cell2, Cell3, and Cell4 can perform carrier aggregation, which belongs to the TDD system. The TDD subframe configurations of Celll and Cell2 and CelB are different. The TDD subframe configurations of Celll and Cell4 are the same. UE1 supports up to three frequency bands for aggregation.

UE2 supports up to four frequency bands for aggregation. Embodiment 1 Step 1: UE1 enters the connection state through Cell1 in the eNB, and Celll is the Pcell. Step 2: The eNB initiates a capability query process to UE1. The capability of UE1 to report supported carrier aggregation is as follows:

Table 1-1

4 33, 34

5 33, 35

6 34, 35

7 33, 34, 35 In addition, the terminal also reports whether the TDD cells with different subframe configurations are supported for aggregation, and whether the same subframe supports simultaneous transmission and reception. As shown in the following Table 1-2, the terminal does not support the frequency band 33 and the frequency band 35. At the same time, the same subframe is transmitted and received at the time of aggregation, but the frequency band 33 and the frequency band 34 are supported, and the frequency band 34 and the frequency band 35 are simultaneously transmitted and received in the same subframe, so that whether the terminal supports the same subframe at the same time when the two frequency bands are aggregated The transmission and reception are different. Therefore, it is only necessary to report whether the TDD cells with different subframe configurations are aggregated when the two frequency bands are aggregated, and whether the same subframe supports simultaneous transmission and reception. Table 1-2

Step 3: UE1 moves into the coverage of the RRH and the repeater. The eNB decides to configure the carrier aggregation because the traffic increases. Step 4: The eNB sends a measurement task to the UE1 to measure the cells on the G and β. Step 5: The UE1 performs measurement. Reporting the measurement report, Cell2 on f2 satisfies the reporting condition and reports it to the eNB. At the same time, Cell3 on β also satisfies the reporting condition and also reports to the eNB. Step 6: The eNB finds that UE1 supports frequency band 33 and frequency band 34 according to the capability of UE1. Carrier aggregation of band 33 and band 35 is also supported, but band 33 and band 35 are not supported for simultaneous transmission and reception in the same subframe, and β is the home band 35. Therefore, if UE1 is configured with Cell3 on β for carrier aggregation. , then the performance of the terminal will be affected, that is, in the configuration of different subframes can only be sent or received, in addition, UE1 supports the simultaneous transmission and reception of the same subframe in the aggregation of the frequency band 33 and the frequency band 34. Therefore, the UE2 can be configured to perform carrier aggregation on the Cell1 configured in the UE1, and configured to the UE1 through the RRC reconfiguration command. In this embodiment, the base station, according to the capability information reported by the terminal (Table 1-2), concludes that when the frequency bands 33, 34, and 35 are aggregated, the terminal supports the TDD cells with different subframe configurations to be aggregated because the frequency band The terminals are supported when 33 and 34, 34 and 35, 33 and 35 are aggregated, but it is not supported to support simultaneous transmission and reception in the same subframe, because there is a band combination, that is, the bands 33 and 35 are aggregated when the terminal is not supported. Embodiment 2 Step 1: UE1 enters the connected state through Celll in the eNB, and Celll is the Pcell. Step 2: The eNB initiates a capability query process to UE1. The capability of UE1 to report supported carrier aggregation is as follows: Table 2-1

In addition, the terminal also reports whether the TDD cells with different subframe configurations are supported for aggregation, and whether the same subframe supports simultaneous transmission and reception. As shown in the following table, the terminal does not support the TDD cells with different frequency band 33 and frequency band 34 subframe configurations for aggregation. It does not support simultaneous transmission and reception in the same subframe, but supports the frequency band 33 and the frequency band 35, and the TDD cells with different frequency band 34 and frequency band subframe configuration are aggregated, and also supports simultaneous transmission and reception in the same subframe, thus, two Whether the terminal supports the aggregation of TDD cells with different subframe configurations when the aggregation is performed, whether the support for simultaneous transmission and reception in the same subframe is different. Therefore, it is only necessary to report whether the supported subframe configuration is different when the two frequency bands are aggregated. The TDD cell performs aggregation, and whether the same subframe supports simultaneous transmission and reception. Table 2-2

Step 3: UE1 moves into the coverage of the RRH and the repeater. The eNB decides to configure the carrier aggregation because the traffic increases. Step 4: The eNB sends a measurement task to the UE1 to measure the cells on the G and β. Step 5: The UE1 performs measurement. Reporting the measurement report, Cell2 on f2 satisfies the reporting condition and reports it to the eNB. At the same time, Cell3 on β also satisfies the reporting condition and also reports to the eNB. Step 6: The eNB finds that UE1 supports frequency band 33 and frequency band 34 according to the capability of UE1. The carrier aggregation of the frequency band 33 and the frequency band 35 is also supported, but the UE1 does not support the frequency band 33 and the frequency band 34 to be aggregated by the TDD cell with different subframe configurations, but belongs to the home frequency band 34, and therefore cannot perform carrier aggregation for the Cell2 configured on the UE1. In addition, when UE1 supports the aggregation of the frequency band 33 and the frequency band 35, the same subframe supports simultaneous transmission and reception, and β is the home frequency band 35. Therefore, only the CelB on the β1 can be configured for carrier aggregation, and the RRC reconfiguration command is configured. UE1. In this embodiment, the base station estimates, according to the capability information reported by the terminal (Table 2-2), that when the frequency bands 33, 34, and 35 are aggregated, the terminal does not support the TDD cells with different subframe configurations for aggregation, because There is a band combination, that is, the bands 33 and 34 are aggregated when the terminal is not supported, and it is not supported to support simultaneous transmission and reception in the same subframe, because there is a band combination, that is, the bands 33 and 34 are aggregated when the terminal is not supported. Embodiment 3 Step 1: UE1 enters the connection state through Celll in the eNB, and Celll is the Pcell. Step 2: The eNB initiates a capability query process to UE1. The capability of UE1 to report supported carrier aggregation is as follows: Table 3-1

In addition, the terminal also reports whether the TDD cell with different subframe configurations is supported for aggregation, and whether the same subframe supports simultaneous transmission and reception. As shown in the following table, the terminal supports the frequency band 33, and the frequency band 34 and the frequency band 35 are aggregated in the same subframe. At the same time, the transmission and reception are performed. Therefore, it is only necessary to report whether the TDD cells with different subframe configurations are aggregated when the three frequency bands are aggregated, and whether the same subframe supports simultaneous transmission and reception. Table 3-2

Step 3: UE1 moves into the coverage of the RRH and the repeater. The eNB decides to configure the carrier aggregation because the traffic increases. Step 4: The eNB sends a measurement task to the UE1 to measure the cells on the G and β. Step 5: The UE1 performs measurement. Reporting the measurement report, Cell2 on f2 satisfies the reporting condition and reports it to the eNB. At the same time, Cell3 on β also satisfies the reporting condition and is also reported to the eNB. Step 6: The eNB supports the frequency band 33, 34, 35 according to the capability of UE1. When the same subframe supports simultaneous transmission and reception, that is, UE1 supports the frequency band 33 and the frequency band 34, the frequency band 33 and the frequency band 35, and when the frequency band 34 and the frequency band 35 are aggregated, the same subframe supports simultaneous transmission and reception, so the eNB configures Cell2 for UE1. Either the Cell3 is feasible, the eNB chooses to configure the Cell2 on the F1 to perform carrier aggregation, and configures the UE1 to the UE1 through the RRC reconfiguration command. In this embodiment, the base station according to the capability information reported by the terminal (Table 3-2), that is, the terminal supports the frequency band 33, the frequency band 34, and the frequency band 35 supports the TDD cells with different subframe configurations for aggregation, and supports the same sub-sub The frame supports simultaneous transmission and reception, and it is inferred that when the frequency bands 33, 34, the frequency bands 33, 35, and the frequency bands 34, 35 are aggregated, the terminal supports the TDD cells with different subframe configurations for aggregation, and supports support in the same subframe. Send and receive at the same time. Embodiment 4 Step 1: UE2 enters the connection state through Celll in the eNB, and Celll is the Pcell. Step 2: The eNB initiates a capability inquiry process to UE2. The capability of UE2 to report supported carrier aggregation is as follows: Table 4-1

In addition, the terminal also reports whether the TDD cell with different subframe configurations is supported for aggregation, and whether the same subframe supports simultaneous transmission and reception. As shown in the following table, the terminal does not support the frequency band 33, and the frequency band 34 and the frequency band 35 are aggregated in the same subframe. Simultaneous transmission and reception, but support band 33, band 34 and band 36, band 33, band 35 and band 36, band 34, band 35 and band 36 are simultaneously transmitted and received in the same subframe, so that the three bands are aggregated When the terminal supports simultaneous transmission and reception in the same subframe, it is only necessary to report whether the three frequency bands are aggregated to support whether the TDD cells with different subframe configurations are aggregated, and whether the same subframe supports simultaneous transmission and reception. Table 4-2

Step 3: UE2 moves into the coverage of the RRH and the repeater. Because the traffic increases a lot, the eNB decides to configure carrier aggregation.

Step 4: The eNB sends a measurement task to UE2, and measures cells on G and β, f4;

Step 5: The UE2 performs the measurement and reports the measurement report. The Cell2 on the G meets the reporting condition and reports it to the eNB. At the same time, the Cell3 on the β also satisfies the reporting condition and is also reported to the eNB. In addition, the Cell4 on the f4 also satisfies the reporting condition. Also reported to the eNB;

Step 6: According to the capability of the UE2, the eNB finds that the UE2 supports carrier aggregation between the frequency bands 33, 34, 35, and 36, but does not support the frequency band 1, 2, and the frequency band 3, and supports simultaneous transmission and reception in the same subframe, and other supports. Therefore, from the perspective of the performance of the terminal, the Cell 2 on the G2 and the Cell 4 on the f4 are preferentially configured for carrier aggregation, and are configured to the UE 2 by using the RRC reconfiguration command. In this embodiment, the base station, according to the capability information reported by the terminal (Table 4-2), concludes that when the frequency bands 33, 34, 35, 36 are aggregated, the terminal supports the TDD cells with different subframe configurations to be aggregated. Because the terminal is supported when any three frequency bands are aggregated, it does not support simultaneous transmission in the same subframe. Receiving, because there is a band combination, that is, bands 33 and 34, the terminal is not supported at the time of aggregation. Example 5

Step 1: UE2 enters the connected state through Celll in the eNB, and Celll is Pcell;

Step 2: The eNB initiates a capability query process to UE2. The capability of UE2 to report supported carrier aggregation is as follows: Table 5-1

In addition, the terminal also reports whether the TDD cell with different subframe configurations is supported for aggregation, and whether the same subframe supports simultaneous transmission and reception. As shown in the following table, the terminal does not support the frequency band 33, and the frequency band 34 and the frequency band 36 subframe configuration are different. The cell performs aggregation, and does not support simultaneous transmission and reception in the same subframe, but supports TDDs of frequency band 33, frequency band 34, and frequency band 35, frequency band 33, frequency band 35, and frequency band 36, and frequency band 34, frequency band 35, and frequency band 36 subframe configurations are different. The cell performs aggregation, and also supports simultaneous transmission in the same subframe. In this way, when the three frequency bands are aggregated, does the terminal support the TDD cells with different subframe configurations to be aggregated, and whether the simultaneous transmission and reception in the same subframe is different, so it is only necessary to report whether the three frequency bands are aggregated. The TDD cells with different frame configurations are aggregated, and whether the same subframe supports simultaneous transmission and reception.

Table 5-2

Step 6: The eNB finds that UE2 supports carrier aggregation between frequency bands 33, 34, 35, and 36 according to the capability of UE2, but does not support aggregation of TDD cells with different subframe configurations when frequency bands 33, 34 and frequency band 36 are aggregated, nor Supports simultaneous transmission and reception in the same sub-frame. Others support it. Therefore, only the Cell2 configured on UE2 and the Cell3 on β are aggregated and configured to UE2 through the RRC reconfiguration command. In this embodiment, the base station, according to the capability information reported by the terminal (Table 5-2), concludes that when the frequency bands 33, 34, 35, 36 are aggregated, the terminal does not support the TDD cells with different subframe configurations for aggregation. Because there is a band combination, that is, bands 33 and 34, the terminal is not supported at the time of aggregation, and does not support simultaneous transmission and reception in the same subframe, because there is a band combination, that is, bands 33 and 34, and the terminal is not aggregated at 36.
