Radio access capabilities of a wireless device

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor in a host computer of a communication system, cause the host computer to perform operations comprising:

• providing user data;
• and
• forwarding the user data to a cellular network, via a communication interface, for transmission to a user equipment (UE), wherein the cellular network comprises a network node configured to perform operations comprising:
• acquiring radio access capability information of a wireless device, wherein the radio access capability information of the wireless device indicates radio access capabilities of the wireless device;
• determining if the wireless communication network received the radio access capability information of the wireless device before access stratum security was activated for the wireless device;
• and
• in response to determining that the wireless communication network received the radio access capability information of the wireless device before access stratum security was activated for the wireless device according to said determining, re acquiring the radio access capability information of the wireless device after access stratum security is activated for the wireless device.

A method performed by host computer in a communication system, comprising:

• providing user data;
• and
• forwarding the user data to a cellular network, via a communication interface, for transmission to a user equipment (UE), wherein the cellular network comprises a network node configured to perform operations comprising:
• acquiring radio access capability information of a wireless device, wherein the radio access capability information of the wireless device indicates radio access capabilities of the wireless device;
• determining if the wireless communication network received the radio access capability information of the wireless device before access stratum security was activated for the wireless device;
• and
• in response to determining that the wireless communication network received the radio access capability information of the wireless device before access stratum security was activated for the wireless device according to said determining, re acquiring the radio access capability information of the wireless device after access stratum security is activated for the wireless device.

A system, comprising:

• a host computer comprising processing circuitry configured to provide user data, and a communication interface configured to forward the user data to a cellular network for transmission to a user equipment (UE);
• and
• a network node disposed in the cellular network and configured to perform operations comprising:
• acquiring radio access capability information of a wireless device, wherein the radio access capability information of the wireless device indicates radio access capabilities of the wireless device;
• determining if the wireless communication network received the radio access capability information of the wireless device before access stratum security was activated for the wireless device;
• and
• if in response to determining that the wireless communication network received the radio access capability information of the wireless device before access stratum security was activated for the wireless device according to said determining, re acquiring the radio access capability information of the wireless device after access stratum security is activated for the wireless device.
