1. A method, comprising:
sending, by a network device, to a terminal, configuration information indicating M sets of radio frequency capabilities, wherein each set of radio frequency capabilities of the M sets of radio frequency capabilities includes one or more radio frequency capabilities on one or more carriers, wherein a radio frequency capability on each carrier of the one or more carriers comprises a quantity of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) layers, and wherein M is an integer greater than 1,
wherein the one or more radio frequency capabilities on the one or more carriers comprise at least one of a radio frequency capability on a carrier of the one or more carriers in a case of single-carrier uplink transmission performed on the carrier, a radio frequency capability used on each carrier of a plurality of carriers of the one or more carriers in a case of simultaneous uplink transmission performed on the plurality of carriers, or a radio frequency capability used on each carrier of a plurality of carriers of the one or more carriers in a case of time division multiplexing (TDM) uplink transmission performed on the plurality of carriers; and
after the sending the configuration information, sending, by the network device, to the terminal, first indication information to the terminal, wherein the first indication information indicates a set of radio frequency capabilities in the M sets of radio frequency capabilities.
