Abstract
Disclosed is a method of operating a telecommunication network, comprising a User Equipment, UE, and a Base Station, BS, wherein the a UE is operable to support a first release of a software standard and is further operable to indicate to the a BS its ability to support at least one feature from a second, later, release of a software standard.
Claims5
A User Equipment (UE) in a telecommunication network, the UE comprising:
- a transceiver;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- determine to support at least one functionality defined in a release of specifications corresponding to an access stratum release that the UE indicates to a base station, and
- determine to support an additional configuration of an implemented feature,
- wherein the implemented feature is defined in a release later than the access stratum release indicated by the UE,
- wherein the implemented feature involves support of a revised version of a message or a field, and
- wherein the determination to support the additional configuration comprises supporting an enhancement of the implemented feature after the release that is later than the access stratum release indicated by the UE.
