Abstract
Devices and methods in a wireless communication system (40) applicable to UE (1), an access node (20) and a core network node (120), for handling UE capability information. For the UE, the method comprises storing (602) the UE capabilities information (50) divided into a plurality of data blocks (51-54), wherein each data block includes a subset of the UE capability information; determining (603), for each data block, a corresponding capability ID (512,522,532,542); transmitting a capability message (61) to the access network (200), comprising at least one of the determined capability IDs.
Claims20
A method for use in a user equipment (UE) for handling UE capability information in a wireless communication system including an access network, comprising:
- storing the UE capability information divided into a plurality of data blocks, wherein each data block includes a subset of the UE capability information;
- determining, for each data block, a corresponding capability ID;
- transmitting a capability message to the access network, comprising at least one of the determined capability IDs.
A method for use in an access node for handling user equipment (UE) capability information in an access network of a wireless communication system including at least one UE, comprising:
- receiving, from said UE, a capability message comprising one or more capability IDs, wherein each capability ID is associated with a corresponding data block which represents a subset of the UE capability information of said UE.
A method for use in a core network node for handling user equipment (UE) capability information in a wireless communication system including at least one UE and an access network, comprising:
- receiving, from an access node of the access network, a capability request message comprising one or more capability IDs, wherein each capability ID is associated with a corresponding data block including a subset of the UE capability information of said UE.
