NETWORK-CONTROLLED DISABLING OF USER EQUIPMENT (UE) RADIO CAPABILITIES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18245668 titled 'NETWORK-CONTROLLED DISABLING OF USER EQUIPMENT (UE) RADIO CAPABILITIES

Simplified Explanation

- This patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications. - A user equipment (UE) can transmit a message to a network indicating its radio capabilities for communication. - The network can determine restricted radio capabilities based on the UE's subscription information. - The network then sends a message to the UE indicating the restricted radio capabilities and a subset of non-restricted radio capabilities. - The UE receives the message, identifies the restricted radio capabilities, and communicates with the network using the non-restricted radio capabilities.

  • The patent application focuses on enabling wireless communication using non-restricted radio capabilities.
  • A user equipment (UE) can transmit a message to a network indicating its radio capabilities.
  • The network determines restricted radio capabilities based on the UE's subscription information.
  • The network sends a message to the UE indicating the restricted radio capabilities and a subset of non-restricted radio capabilities.
  • The UE receives the message and communicates with the network using the non-restricted radio capabilities.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. To communicate using non-restricted radio capabilities, a user equipment (UE) may transmit a UE capability message to a network (e.g., via a base station) that indicates a set of radio capabilities that the UE may use to communicate. The network may identify subscription information for the UE and may determine one or more restricted radio capabilities of the set of radio capabilities based on the subscription information for the UE. The network may transmit a message to the UE that includes a radio capability modification indication indicating the one or more restricted radio capabilities and a UE radio capability identifier corresponding to the subset of radio capabilities of the set of radio capabilities that are not restricted. The UE may receive the message, identify the restricted radio capabilities, and communicate with the network using the subset of non-restricted radio capabilities.
