Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a method of operating a communications device (UE) in a mobile communications network including one or more network elements (eNodeB, MME; CloT-BS, C-SGN), which are especially for providing a wireless access interface for the communications device (UE), especially according to LTE or CloT, whereby the communications device (UE) during an attach procedure transmits an information element regarding radio related capabilities of the communications device (UE) and/or regarding core network capabilities of the communications device (UE) to a network element (eNodeB; CloT-BS) of the mobile communications network providing a wireless access interface for the communications device (UE). The invention further relates to a method of operating a communications device (UE) in a mobile communications network including one or more network elements (eNodeB, MME; CloT-BS, C-SGN), which are especially for providing a wireless access interface for the communications device (UE), especially according to LTE or CloT, whereby a network element (eNodeB; CloT-BS) of the mobile communications network providing a wireless access interface for the communications device (UE) during an attach procedure receives an information element regarding radio related capabilities of the communications device (UE) and/or regarding core network capabilities of the communications device (UE) and whereby the network element (eNodeB; CloT-BS) of the mobile communications network is able to use the received information element regarding radio related capabilities of the communications device (UE) and/or regarding core network capabilities of the communications device (UE) itself, preferably directly, for selecting a core network node (MME; C-SGN) of the mobile communications network. The invention further relates to mobile communications system for operating a communications device (UE) in a mobile communications network including one or more network elements (eNodeB, MME; CloT-BS, C-SGN), which are especially for providing a wireless access interface for the communications device (UE), especially according to LTE or CloT, whereby the communications device (UE) and a network element (eNodeB; CloT-BS) of the mobile communications network providing a wireless access interface for the communications device (UE) are adapted to perform the steps of a method according to the present invention.
