Size optimized encoding of capability structure for multicarrier systems

An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• means for determining UE capability information comprising Radio Frequency (RF) capability information and baseband capability information, the baseband capability information comprising at least one other baseband parameter that indicates a numerology, the RF capability information indicating RF capability with reference to at least one band combination, wherein the RF capability information comprises an index of the at least one other baseband parameter that indicates whether the numerology is supported for a particular RF band within the at least one band combination;
• and
• means for signaling the UE capability information to a base station.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer executable code for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), the code when executed by a processor cause the processor to:

• determine UE capability information comprising Radio Frequency (RF) capability information and baseband capability information, the baseband capability information comprising at least one other baseband parameter that indicates a numerology, the RF capability information indicating RF capability with reference to at least one band combination, wherein the RF capability information comprises an index of the at least one other baseband parameter that indicates whether the numerology is supported for a particular RF band within the at least one band combination, and
• signal UE capability information to a base station.
