ENHANCEMENTS FOR RADIO ACCESS CAPABILITY SIGNALING (RACS)

The invention relates to enhancements for radio access capability signaling (RACS). Embodiments are presented herein of apparatuses, systems, and methods for user equipment device (UE), manufacturer server, and/or cellular network to perform radio capability signaling. A new type of UE radio capability identifier is provided which may allow a network to distinguish between similar UE that have or have not implemented a capability update. In order to perform a forced capability update, a manufacturer may issue information about the update to a cellular network (and receive acknowledgement of the information) prior to pushing the update to UE. In response to an unforced capability update, a cellular network may maintain multiple UE radio capability identifiers for similar UE which have or have not implemented the update. A UE radio capability identifier may be adjusted dynamically in response to temporary changes in the UE's capability. 本公开涉及无线电接入能力信令(RACS)的增强。提供了用于用户装备设备(UE)、制造商服务器和/或蜂窝网络以执行无线电能力信令的装置、系统和方法的实施
