Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 16:
17. A communication apparatus, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory storing program instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the communication apparatus to perform the following steps:
receiving an aggregated carrier bandwidth upper limit of a band from a network device, wherein the aggregated carrier bandwidth upper limit is carried in carrier range information, and wherein the carrier range information indicates the communication apparatus to report capability information to the network device;
determining the capability information based on the aggregated carrier bandwidth upper limit, wherein the capability information corresponds to at least one carrier in the band, and wherein an aggregated bandwidth of the at least one carrier is less than or equal to the aggregated carrier bandwidth upper limit; and
reporting the capability information of the at least one carrier to the network device;

wherein the carrier range information further carries a carrier quantity upper limit of the band, and wherein a quantity of carriers of the least one carrier is less than or equal to the carrier quantity upper limit.
