Abstract

La présente demande concerne un procédé et un appareil de rapport de capacité qui sont utilisés pour réduire des surdébits de signalisation de rapport de capacité d'un dispositif terminal. Au cours du procédé, divers modes de transmission en liaison montante sont indiqués au moyen d'une information de capacité de BC et les divers modes de transmission en liaison montante peuvent partager des informations de capacité de liaison descendante de sorte que, grâce à une information de capacité de BC, des capacités correspondant à divers modes de transmission en liaison montante puissent être rapportées. Comparée à un mode d'établissement d'un rapport au moyen d'une pluralité d'informations de capacité de BC relatives à divers modes de transmission en liaison montante, la présente demande peut réduire le rapport répété d'informations de capacité dans des bandes de liaison descendante, ce qui économise des surdébits de rapport de capacité.
