Abstract
Example methods and apparatus to initiate data transfers using capabilities classes of pre-defined capability configurations are disclosed. In accordance with a disclosed example method, a message is generated to initiate a data transfer session between a mobile station and a network. A code value from a plurality of code values is selected. Each of the code values is pre-defined to indicate a respective subset of different types of radio access capabilities of the mobile station. The selected code value is included in the message. The message is sent from the mobile station to the network.

A method to communicate capabilities of a device, comprising:
- generating a message to initiate a data transfer session between a mobile station and a network;
- selecting a code value from a plurality of code values, each of the code values pre-defined to indicate a respective subset of different types of radio access capabilities of the mobile station;
- including the selected code value in the message;
- and
- sending the message from the mobile station to the network.
An apparatus to communicate capabilities of a device, comprising:
- a processor to:
