Systems and methods for supporting evolving band regulations

A method for operating user equipment in a geographical region, comprising:

• receiving, at a receiver of the user equipment, a system information block from a base station, the system information block comprising a network signaling value of a plurality of network signaling values corresponding to a plurality of regulatory requirements of the geographical region;
• receiving, using processing circuitry of the user equipment, a first indication of the geographical region that the user equipment is located;
• receiving, using the processing circuitry of the user equipment, a second indication of a regulatory requirement of the plurality of regulatory requirements corresponding to the network signaling value and based on the geographical region;
• and
• configuring, using the processing circuitry of the user equipment, a transmitter or the receiver of the user equipment to comply with the regulatory requirement.

User equipment, comprising:

• a transceiver;
• and
• processing circuitry communicatively coupled to the transceiver, the processing circuitry configured to
• receive an indication of a regulatory requirement based on a network signaling value sent by a base station, the network signaling value among a plurality of network signaling values corresponding to a plurality of regulatory requirements of a plurality of geographical regions, and
• configure the transceiver to comply with the regulatory requirement.
