Description

一种传输能力信息的方法、装置以及可读存储介质A method, device and readable storage medium for transmitting capability information 技术领域Technical field
本公开涉及无线通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种传输能力信息的方法、装置及可读存储介质。The present disclosure relates to the field of wireless communication technology, and in particular, to a method, device and readable storage medium for transmitting capability information.
背景技术Background technique
在第五代(5G,5Generation)无线通信系统中,FR2毫米波频段采用了波束赋形技术。用户设备(User Equipment,UE)在FR2中接收信号时,与在FR1低频段采用全向天线接收的方式不同,额外引入了接收波束的赋形管理技术,以采用最好的接收波束进行信号接收,有利于达到更大的上行覆盖范围和更好的传输速率。In the fifth generation (5G, 5Generation) wireless communication system, the FR2 millimeter wave band uses beam forming technology. When the user equipment (User Equipment, UE) receives signals in FR2, it is different from the omnidirectional antenna reception method in the FR1 low-frequency band. An additional receiving beam shaping management technology is introduced to use the best receiving beam for signal reception. , which is conducive to achieving greater uplink coverage and better transmission rates.
由于波束概念的引入,在用户设备中可以通过不同的波束实现资源复用。如在接收信号时,用户设备可采用接收波束扫描的方式,利用多个波束实现更好的接收角度的覆盖。但用户设备在同一时刻利用波束的能力有限,可能因此产生调度限制。因此,需获知用户设备的相关能力。Due to the introduction of the beam concept, resource multiplexing can be achieved through different beams in user equipment. For example, when receiving a signal, the user equipment can adopt the receiving beam scanning method and use multiple beams to achieve better reception angle coverage. However, user equipment has limited ability to utilize beams at the same time, which may result in scheduling restrictions. Therefore, it is necessary to know the relevant capabilities of the user equipment.
