Methods and apparatus for supporting band steering and/or channel steering in wireless communications systems, e.g. WiFi communications systems, are described. An access point aggregates information, e.g., from messages being communicated between the access point and client devices being serviced by the access point, and generates reports. The generated reports are communicated to a control device, e.g. a radio resource management (RRM) device. In some embodiments, generated reports include one or more of: i) message header information, e.g. resource unit (RU) allocation and/or use information and/or BSS color information, ii) collision reports, iii) received signal strength indicator (RSSI) reports, signal to noise ratio (SNR) reports, iv) interference reports; v) power information; vi) access point measurement information; and vii) access point control information. The control device uses the received reports from APs, in making bandsteering decisions with regard to individual client devices, and channel change decisions with regard to access points.

Adaptive user equipment capability reporting is disclosed. Continuing increases in the number of radio access technologies and more granular division of radio spectrum can result in a conventional user equipment capability report exceeding a threshold size, such as a threshold size set by a standards organization. In response, a conventional user equipment capability report can be truncated, which can result in loss of valuable user equipment capability information. The disclosed subject matter provides for generating an adapted user equipment capability report that can be smaller than the conventional user equipment capability reports in response to receiving an oversize user equipment capability report. The adapted user equipment capability report can intelligently comprise a preferred user equipment capability and can segregate reported capabilities by radio access technology. This can avoid loss of user equipment capability information corresponding to the preferred user equipment capability comprised in the adapted user equipment capability report.

The present disclosure relates to communication methods and communication apparatus. In one example method, a centralized unit user plane (CU-UP) obtains a first service feature of a service. The first service feature includes one or more of the following: data that indicates whether the service is a periodic service, a periodicity corresponding to the service when the service is a periodic service, a service packet size corresponding to the service, a service model corresponding to the service, or scheduling time of the service. Then, the CU-UP sends the first service feature to a centralized unit control plane (CU-CP). Next, the CU-CP may send the first service feature to a distributed unit (DU).
