1. An apparatus, the apparatus comprising one or more processors configured to:
receive a capability reporting request from a base station, wherein the capability reporting request carries an indication of a frequency band range that needs to be reported;
receive carrier range information of a band from the base station, wherein the carrier range information comprises a maximum carrier quantity;
determine, according to the carrier range information, capability information corresponding to at least one carrier in the band, wherein a quantity of carriers of the least one carrier is less than or equal to the maximum carrier quantity, and wherein the capability information comprises at least one of a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) capability or a channel state information (CSI) capability; and
report the capability information corresponding to the at least one carrier to the base station, wherein the maximum carrier quantity is included in the capability information reported to the base station, wherein reporting the capability information corresponding to the at least one carrier to the base station comprises:
filling, in a first set, capability information that is in capability information corresponding to the frequency band range and that does not meet a first condition, and reporting the capability information, wherein when the first set cannot accommodate the capability information, filling a remaining capability in a second set, and reporting the remaining capability, and wherein when the second set cannot accommodate the remaining capability, filling the remaining capability in a third set according to a format of the third set, and reporting the remaining capability; and
filling, in the third set, capability information that is in capability information corresponding to each supported carrier combination and that meets the first condition, and reporting the capability information.
