Claim 5:
6. An apparatus, comprising:
a non-transitory memory storage comprising instructions; and
one or more processors in communication with the memory storage, wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to perform:
sending a first message to a terminal device, wherein the first message carries information comprising a carrier aggregation band combination range, and the carrier aggregation band combination range comprises at least one of a requested maximum bandwidth of carriers or a requested maximum quantity of the carriers; and
receiving a carrier aggregation capability and baseband capabilities from the terminal device;
wherein the carrier aggregation capability meets the carrier aggregation band combination range, the carrier aggregation capability comprises a quantity of carriers supported by the terminal device and a bandwidth of a carrier supported by the terminal device, and
wherein the baseband capabilities meet a baseband capability range, the baseband capability range is based on the carrier aggregation band combination, and the baseband capabilities comprise a baseband capability with regard to one class of carrier information, and the carrier information comprises a quantity of carriers and a bandwidth of a carrier, and the baseband capability with regard to one class of carrier information comprises a first multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) capability, and the first MIMO capability indicates a quantity of MIMO layers supported by the terminal device.
