Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 5:
6. A communications device, comprising a processor, a memory, and a computer program stored in the memory and capable of running on the processor,
wherein the communications device is a terminal UE or a first adapter, the first adapter is a UE-side time sensing network (TSN) translator, and when the computer program is executed by the processor, the following steps of the method for supporting time-sensitive communication are implemented:
transmitting first capability information, or transmitting first capability information and delay related information of the terminal UE, wherein
the first capability information comprises at least one of the following:
information related to a delay between the UE and the first adapter, transmission propagation delay related information of the first adapter, or transmission propagation delay related information of the UE co-located with the first adapter;
wherein the transmission propagation delay related information of the first adapter comprises a time required for transmitting from a port of the first adapter to a port of a connected station;
the transmission propagation delay related information of the UE co-located with the first adapter comprises a time required for transmitting from a port of the UE co-located with the first adapter to a port of a connected station;
the transmitting the first capability information comprises:
when the communications device is the UE, transmitting the first capability information to a core network (CN) element; or
when the communications device is the first adapter, transmitting the first capability information to the UE;
wherein the information related to a delay between the UE and the first adapter comprises at least one of the following:
information related to a first interface, information related to a second interface, the delay between the UE and the first adapter, or a traffic class associated with a data packet;
wherein the delay between the UE and the first adapter comprises at least one of the following:
a time required for transmitting a data packet from the first interface to the second interface; or
a time required for transmitting a data packet from the second interface to the first interface;
wherein
in a case that the first interface is a first port, the information related to the first interface is port-related information of the first port; and
in a case that the second interface is a Uu interface of the UE, the information related to the second interface is information about a first tunnel of the UU interface; wherein
the first port is a port connected to a bridge or an end station.
