Device, System, and Method for Enhanced User Equipment and Network Capability For LTE and New Radio

A user equipment (UE), comprising:

• a processor configured to:
• receive a request from a network for radio access capabilities of the UE;
• receive, from the network, a size limit indication corresponding to a message to be generated by the UE that includes the radio access capabilities of the UE;
• and
• generate the message that includes the radio access capabilities based on the size limit;
• and
• a transceiver configured to transmit the message to the network.

A method, comprising:

• at a user equipment (UE):
• receiving a request from a network for radio access capabilities of the UE;
• receiving a segment limit indication and a size limit indication for a message to be generated by the UE that includes the radio access capabilities of the UE;
• generating the message that includes the radio access capabilities of the UE, wherein the message includes a plurality of segments based on the segment limit and the size limit;
• and
• transmitting the message to the network.
