Abstract
A communication apparatus includes an antenna module, a radio transceiver and a processor. The radio transceiver transmits or receives wireless radio frequency signals to or from an air interface via the one or more antennas of the antenna module. The processor is configured to determine an actual communication capability of the communication apparatus, determine a reduced communication capability of the communication apparatus according to the actual communication capability, and report the reduced communication capability instead of the actual communication capability as a communication capability of the communication apparatus to a network device. A corresponding value of the reduced communication capability is smaller than a corresponding value of the actual communication capability.
